I would say it was more like 3.5 stars.

She loses her father in a fire she barely survives. Her mother has been gone for a year just leaving one day. As she tries to move on secrets start to unravel. A few times pacing was off but overall was good.

3.5 ⭐️

I honestly didn’t know where this was going or what the plot even was for the majority of the book, but at the same time it was a super fun YA??? I totally would’ve loved this in high school!! Definitely recommend for a YA mystery/romance. Thank you to Penguin Group for the advanced copy!!

I like this book but its okay I think it was written for a juvenile reader. I think the story has a lot of plot holes I am confused about her and Logan you don't find out his secret till the end but its a weird secret at first I thought because he was trying to get close to her that he was some serial killer. Their love in the beginning was raw and obsessive enemies to lovers trope but like then I find out hes like some kind of weird stalker and he wanted to get close to her because of her dad, she Became so obsessive trying to figure out who gave her the donation for her gofundme. I don't understand if its like a juvenile readers ya romance but it has some spice which is odd to me. I think it was okay it wasn't the best story in my opinion.

Thank you netgalley for the book to review.

Thank you for providing me with an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ・❥・

This book was different than anything I've ever read, the plot was amazing and kept me wanting more. read in 24 hours thats how great it was. Definitely add this book to you tbr and you won't regret it!!

🔥 ┊ “ <i>my mom is gone. my dad is dead. and my life will never be the same.</i> ”

All We Lost Was Everything centers around River Santos, whose father died in a fire just a few months back. Her mother has been missing for over a year. Just as things are beginning to get easier, new information is uncovered about the fire. River is forced to confront many horrible truths, wondering if she ever really knew her parents after all.

I really wanted to like this book but there was just so much that didn't like:

- I don't think this should have been marketed as a YA book. There were like three sex scenes, and the characters felt like they were in their mid-twenties. I honestly thought they were in their twenties until a high school graduation was mentioned.

- Both the love triangle and the romance felt very cookie-cutter, and I think the book would have been better without it taking up so much time.

- Logan, the love interest, was very boring. He was way too clingy (and trust me, I love clingy men) and he felt too much like a cut-out of what a romantic partner should be like, rather than an actual character. I don't think he should have ever been given a POV, as it never really develops the plot.

- I guessed who the main antagonist was right away; usually, I'm fine with figuring out things before the characters, but here I was just bored.

- What we end up finding out about the parents made me lose all sympathy for them.

- The letters from the mom that were at the ends of some of the chapters were confusing. I wish it was explained what they were, as I first thought they were a part of River's imagination.

- I genuinely forgot this was even a thriller because it only brought in the mystery aspect at about the 40% line and it only began to really pick up at about 70%.

- River constantly made the stupidest of decisions.

I read her first book Everything We Never Said last year and loved it. This book was a good. A mild dark romance and thriller.

Even though the book is YA it didn’t feel like it when reading.

There were a lot of plot twists. The twists to me were pretty obvious but overall I had a find time reading this.

God River can anything else go wrong!? Can anyone else lie to you?! I was shaking mad for her. And was guessing the ending wrong the whole time. Mind blown. So so so good. Five stars without a doubt.

Well, the title was accurate. It didn't undersell a thing. Some parts of the book I had figured out by the 3rd chapter. Still there were enough surprises at the end that I appreciated.

This book had a lot going on at the same time which the author was able make it all work well. Good story with mystery and lots of puzzled guessing. River Santos was a girl with a lot of tragedy and baggage. The story flowed well for me and was a quick entertaining read .

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced e-book edition of this book for my honest opinion

River Santos is living through one of the worst years of her life. Her mom left and never came home, her boyfriend broke up with her, and then her dad died in a house fire that she somehow survived. The only people left in her life are her Tita and her best friend Tawny, as she struggles with grief and losing people she loves. Most of her days are spent working at the local diner with Tawny and fawning over their co-worker Logan who seems to want to pretend River doesn't exist. What happens when Logan is suddenly helping her save face in front of her ex? Just when River thinks things are turning around she realizes that in the real world, everyone is hiding something.

This YA romantic thriller had me drawn in and impatient to find out what was happening next! While some of the plot twists were predictable, the final twist had my jaw on the floor! Highly recommend.

Thank you, NetGalley and Penguin Young Readers Group for the advanced reader copy in exchange for honest feedback.

this book was not meant to be read by a thirty one year old women. however, my sixteen year old self would have been obsessed with this book. this book had the perfect amount of romance, suspense, and twists for a young adult book. were there some major plot holes, yes but overall a fun read.


thank you so much to net galley and penguin group putnam for the arc.

Overall I really enjoyed this! I don’t usually catch on to things that are happening but some moments I were able to predict.

River Santos believes she has everything she could ever want—until her world is shattered. A year after her mother goes missing, she loses her father in a devastating house fire, and to make matters worse, her boyfriend breaks up with her. Struggling with her grief, River works at a diner alongside her best friend, Tawny, and meets Logan, a charming new guy who starts working there. Just when it seems like things are beginning to improve, River discovers that appearances can be deceiving. Will she uncover the truth, or will she be left wondering what really happened?

This romantic mystery had moments that felt predictable, but the story delivered satisfying twists and surprises along the way. The characters were well-developed without being bogged down by excessive backstories. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which even led me to explore more works by Sloan Harlow. If you're looking for a young adult mystery with a dash of romance, this book is a great choice.

A special thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Young Readers Group for the advanced reader copy in exchange for honest feedback.

Rating: 4/5

I really really enjoyed this book, It had gotten me emotional a couple times as a realised I loved River as a character. The mystery element to the novel really added that bit of excitement to an otherwise casual romance. As a character I genuinely loved Logan, because even though he had secrets he wasn’t necessarily toxic. The plot point of River losing everything added a sense of uncertainty to what her life would be and I really enjoyed not knowing. The plot twists at every turn was such a fun element.

Thank you to NetGalley for the early copy

First off, I love Sloan Harlow. This book was exactly was I was hoping it would be- dark, twisty, and a little romance. I enjoyed the story and the pacing, and I wanted to know where everything would lead. I read this in one sitting, and I will definitely be recommending it!

Somehow I missed the fact that this was a thriller when reading the description, but I am absolutely not upset about it. This book had me HOOKED. This pulled me out of a major reading slump and I binged it within 24 hours. Was this book a bit dramatic? Yes. Was it definitely a bit of a cheesy YA thriller? Also yes. Will I be recommending this to everyone I see? Absolutely.

I DID NOT SEE THAT ENDING AT ALL! THAT PLOT TWIST HAD ME SPINNING!

Another great book by Sloan Harlow! River looses her father in a tragic house fire. As the story progresses there are more secrets uncovered. It’s a fun, quick read. I highly recommend! Thanks yo NetGalley, the publisher and Sloan Harlow for an arc in exchange for my honest review.

This sorry had me in a chokehold and the twists had me intrigued and engaged 100% of the time. Un-put-downable and a fun read!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this arc in exchange for my honest review!
