A perfect first time thriller for those who want to dip their toes into this genre! Very twisty and keeps you constantly guessing!

After the death of her best friend Hayley, Ella finds herself struggling to function. She feels like everyone hates her, especially because she's been told she was driving the car that killed her best friend -- although Ella doesn't remember anything. She finds comfort in Hayley's ex-boyfriend Sawyer and becomes conflicted when she learns that he has feelings for her as well. Hoping to find answers to her self doubt, she turns to Hayley's journal for words of wisdom. However, what Hayley details about the people around her may change the rest of Ella's life forever.


This book is definitely geared towards teens, which I liked. It dives into some topics, such as grief, that many teens deal with and treats these issues with the reverence they deserve.
There are a ton of twists and turns that will keep you guessing the entire book and keep you on the edge of your seat.
This is such a quick, easy read that will have you engaged the whole way through!

Thank you to PENGUIN GROUP (Penguin Young Readers Group) and NetGalley for an eARC of this story! All opinions are my own!

A few triggers warnings, but a great debut book! Ella feels like she is responsible for her best friend's death. Hayley and Sawyer were dating before her death, and now she is attracted to him. When Ella goes to clean out Hayley's room, she finds Hayley's diary. When she begins to read the diary, she feels that Hayley is trying to tell her something about Sawyer. Even though her head says "stay away", her heart does not listen. When things start unraveling, and secrets come out, Ella wonders if she really knew her friends. The ending, what???? Great job with this one Sloan Harlow! Cannot wait to read your next book. Thanks to Sloan Harlow, Penguin Group Publishers, and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Wow. Usually, I am not a fan of young adult thrillers but let me tell you this book delivered. About 50 pages and I was thoroughly convinced I knew what the plot twist was and who did it. Until I was about 80% in and all of my thoughts and theories were completely tossed out the window. This book had some great twists in it, though not monumental. They were really good for a young adult book. And don’t be sad because of course it being a young adult book the extreme anngst and tension and high emotion was all there for these high school seniors I like how the ending played out. It was just an overall great read.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

I love thrillers and fast paced reads and this book was all that and more! This YA romance thriller was full of likable characters and while the mystery was predictable I did overall enjoy this read.

📖 Book Review 📖
📱”Everything We Never Said by Sloan Harlow

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A YA romance thriller mix, of a high school senior, Ella grieving the death of her best friend Hayley while falling for Hayley’s former boyfriend Sawyer.

Readers get to see each character’s perspective via alternating characters, even Hayley via old diary entries. I enjoyed the pacing but felt it was a story that has been told before. The suspense was well written.

There was so much hype about this one on social media and I was so excited. While I thought it was a good and very powerful book, I struggled to emotionally connect with it and the main character.

First of all, I had no idea this was the author's debut novel until I sat down to write this review. Very well done for a debut! I'm not sure what made me request this book, since I've been steering away from YA books lately, but I'm not mad about it. I flew through this one in a day, and stayed up way too late reading it to finish. I honestly didn't expect it to have such a suspenseful/twisty ending, and once I realized that it wasn't your typical YA romance, I seriously couldn't put it down.

Once we get Hayley's diary chapters, I thought I had everything figured out - and then I changed my mind, then I started questioning THAT, then went back and forth between my second and third guess for a while, and then really did figure it out RIGHT before the big reveal. But the author does a great job getting up to that point! I think if I was reading this book as a teen and not an adult, I would have been in for quite a shock.

There were some plot points that were a little choppy and some things I would have liked more of, but I think it's because it's YA and not adult fiction. I will say if I had read this as a teen, I would have absolutely LOVED it.

3.5 stars rounded up because it's a debut

The book is good and I recommend reading it as long as you pay attention to the book's triggers.
Thanks NetGalley!

First I want to thank NetGalley, Penguin Group and Sloan Harlow for my ARC of Everything We Never Said.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought that it was well written and definitely had some twists that I didn’t see coming. It was an easy book to get into and an easy read. I think the author did a great job with this book. Definitely would recommend for YA readers or anyone who enjoys YA books. This was my first book from Sloan Harlow but I definitely look forward to reading more!

Wow! This story was intense. It had a couple of large twists that I did not see coming. I went down the road not realizing where it was going.

The topic of toxic relationships was handled so well, I think I will recommend my granddaughter reading this one. My only reservations were the amount of sex scenes and details that were given. I do believe the point could have been made without the details.

The ending was good. I will look for what this author writes next.

Everything We Never Said by Sloan Harlow has been my Roman Empire for the last 24 hours and I could not read it fast enough! It is the perfect read for fans of Noelle W. Ihli, Gillian Flynn, and Sara Shepard.

This book kept my attention and even though some parts were predictable (for me), the author kept you guessing about your predictions to the very end. I don’t think I’ve ever questioned myself so much as to what I thought was happening and who was responsible. It was a wild ride and I loved every moment of it.

I also think this book does a great job of reflecting the realities of domestic violence relationships, ways people end up in them, and how difficult it can be to leave.

If you or someone you know are experiencing domestic violence please contact @ndvhofficial at 800-799-7233.

This book started a bit slow but definitely picked up the pace about halfway through. I liked it and was pretty invested but I did predict the ending and it was a tad far fetched. That being said it was a quick easy read.

Thank you @netgalley for this ARC!

𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙨𝙮𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙨𝙞𝙨: Ella has been struggling to come to terms with the death of her best friend Hayley after their car accident together. Ella has sought comfort in Hayley’s former boyfriend, Sawyer, but the guilt is killing her. She ends up finding Hayley’s diary and you won’t believe what she learns…

Thank you so much to #NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC

Ok, so let me start off by saying that I did like the book. It just wasn't earth shattering for me. Everything was fine. In fact, if someone were to ask me how the book was, "It was fine" would be my response. It was very "been there" for me. The writing was good, the story was good, the characters were good, but it was sort of a repeat story for me.

However, I do think it was "fine" enough to recommend it to others.

3.5 stars. Good build of tension and mystery throughout the story, and loved the scenes with Ella and Sawyer. The end was a bit unbelievable and shark-jumping, but overall this was an engrossing read!

This was a really heartbreaking story. I hate to see adults going through situations like this, let alone teenagers who are still learning about themselves and the world. Overall, I think the author did a great job with the execution of this story, considering the triggering themes in it.

My only real complaint is with the story itself. I wish there could have been some type of redemption with the school officials. A lot of kids depend on teachers, coaches, and counselors, and I was hoping that we could have a good guy in the bunch. However, I did love the relationship between the kids and their parents/families. This was a really good one.

I enjoying reading YA books from time to time due to having teenage children. This is a book that would hook by daughter. She is always asking to read Colleen Hoover and this book would be the perfect, age appropriate substitution! Well done!

I'd like to thank Netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group | G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a YA thriller that is relatable to Colleen Hoover. I enjoyed the twist and turns this book took and how you weren't sure "who done it". I had my suspicions and was correct but I don't feel like it was obvious.

The story is narrated through mostly Ella's perspective and her missing/deceased best friend Hayley through her diary which I found interesting. As Ella is getting closer to Hayley's boyfriend Sawyer, she finds Hayley's diary in which she is writing about the downfall of her relationship with "S". Ella is caught between having feelings for Sawyer and wanting to solve her best friends disappearance.

I found the dialogue to be hard to get into. While fast paced and having multiple POV's which I enjoyed, the characters lacked. I feel that an audience younger than I am would probably find this to be a great read but being older it had some "omgosh" moments for me.

This was such a twisty book and I loved every second!

Ella and Haley were best friends until an accident one night after a party left Haley dead and Ella feeling responsible. Ella is tasked with cleaning out Haley's bedroom to spare her mother from further heartache, and Ella comes across Haley's journal. She starts reading the journal to find if there were clues as to what was going on with Haley before her untimely demise, and the more she reads of the journal, the more Ella feels guilty and like she is invading Haley's privacy. What's more, is now Ella has feelings for Haley's boyfriend, but as Ella reads more about Haley and Sawyer's relationship in the journal, the more Ella wonders if Sawyer really is who he says he is.

This book was mysterious and sad and tough and touching and just all the things. I devoured this book and I was certain I had everything figured out. But I was wrong, so wrong. I didn't really see the twists coming, and I'm glad because the shock I felt was unexpected and surprising.

Read this book! It was so wonderfully done and I will be thinking about this story for a long time to come.

I received a copy of this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Ella and Haley are best friends. Haley has fiercely defended Ella since elementary school. Now Ella is starting senior year without Haley. Haley is dead and Ella was driving. Ella blames herself for the death of her best friend, and she’s falling for Haley’s (ex)boyfriend.

Ella has no memory of the accident. She is finally continuing life while trying to get her memories back. She’s falling in love with Sawyer, but is he actually to blame for Haley’s death?

This book was great! There were some enjoyable twists that unfold as you’re reading. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that enjoys romance and/or thrillers.
