Romantic, mysterious with twists and turns that I did not see coming. I was absolutely obsessed with this one from start to finish. I thought River was such a great FMC and loved having some dual POV with Logan. I really, REALLY enjoyed that all the characters intertwined in some sort of way.
I really am into thrillers lately I guess, but this scratches the thriller and romance itch!
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.
I am not sure why but this book did not work for me. However, as I always say when I don't like a book, just because I did not like the book, it doesn't mean that someone else won't like it. It also doesn't necessarily mean that I may not like another book by the same author. Or even that I may not like the book if I try it again in the future...

This is a little mix of everything. It has mystery. It had romance and it had a lot of twists! There’s so many things that happened that I wasn’t able to predict! It had me on the edge of my seat! This is such a fun and twisty read!!
Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC! ❤️

Was it cheesy? Yes. Was it dramatic? Yes. Was it definitely a YA book. Yes- and guess what?!? I binged the book and loved it for what it was.
River's world has crashed down around her. Her father died in a house fire the same night the love her teenage life abruptly broke up with her, and her mentally unstable mother is in the wind. All that's left is her adoring Filipino aunt and her ride or die best friend Tawny. While navigating her new life, and ignoring the mysteriously gifted 2 million in her bank account, River is caught up in a whirlwind love at first sight with the traditional Mr. Dark and Mysterious Logan. Can River's heart heal amongst all the lies she uncovers and will her mom return- read it and find out.
The twists were fairly predictable and the love interests were extremely dramatic- but what do we expect from a trio of teenagers. This was a great YA thriller with a touch of romance. It was a very easy, quick read, and I highly recommend it.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I was deeply impacted by this story and its characters—what a plot! The mystery surrounding the anonymous $2 million GoFundMe donation to a teenager who has endured unimaginable hardship instantly pulled me in. She’s lost so much, and as she struggles to adjust to her new reality, she also begins to question whether the money is tied to someone from her past—a past she’s no longer sure she remembers correctly.
The author did a phenomenal job conveying the protagonist’s grief. I could feel the weight of her loss—it was palpable, and at times, crushing. One character who really stuck with me was her new friend from the diner where they work. He rubbed me the wrong way from the start; there was something unsettling and almost invasive about him that made me uneasy the entire book.
Admittedly, the pacing frustrated me early on. By the 60% mark, I found myself asking: what’s happening with the GoFundMe mystery? What exactly went down with her parents? But sticking with it paid off. The ending delivered dark, twisty revelations that left my head spinning and deepened my empathy for the protagonist. She was living a complete lie—and it made me view her not only with sympathy, but with admiration for her resilience.
An excellently written, emotionally gripping novel.

I enjoyed this book. The writing was great, it was an easy read, and it hooked you in and kept you engaged the whole time. I didn’t want to put it down, which has been a big deal for me lately!
River’s story was heartbreaking and crazy. She had gone through so much in such a short period of time, turning her life completely upside down. The way she was able to show people kindness while going through her struggles was amazing. Her friendship with Tawny was so sincere and it’s a relationship you yearn for has a teenager/young adult.
Logan was mysterious in the secrets he was keeping but I felt like he had River’s best interests at heart the whole time. I never doubted that. I like the development of their relationship a lot.
*Spoilers*
The twists were crazy. I wasn’t entirely happy that there were multiple twists involving multiple different people. Felt like a little too much for me but overall they were great revelations. I kinda hated the Tawny twists because I was such a huge fan of their relationship from the beginning.
The letters from River’s mom were confusing. The way they were positioned in the chapters made it seem like we were actually getting responses from her actively. I think just format-wise they needed to be spaced out or have a page break to make it more clear that they were separate from the chapter.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance review copy in return for an honest review. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. A fun thriller with a side of ya romance ! Maybe a little too twisty for me though!

Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc.
I liked the book well enough. Was it my favorite? No. I kept having to remind myself that it is a YA book. The characters were definitely immature and they got on my nerves at times. The story was a bit slow. Overall it was good but not great.

If you read my review for Sloan Harlow’s debut book, Everything we Never Said, I could just duplicate the review for Harlow’s second book All We Lost Is Everything.. This book is about betrayal, loss and so many secrets. Who is everyone protecting, themselves or the ones they love? River has no one to turn to because eventually every person she is close to is caught in a lie.
This is a YA book with hot, steamy sex. I am not a young adult. Again, as in her other book I was ready to give up, but was so happy I didn’t. The twists and turns in this book are crazy, they kept me up all night reading, needing to know what was going to happen next.
Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group Penguin Young Readers Group l GP Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. If you are a young adult you will love this book, if you like mysteries and can tolerate explicit sex scenes you will also like it.

Thank you to NetGalley, and Penguin Young Readers Group for the opportunity to read this e-arch. Unfortunately I DNF at 30% mark. I couldn’t connect with the characters or the storyline.

All We Lost Was Everything by Sloan Harlow is the story of a girl named River Santos whose father died in a house fire where she lost everything, and then she receives two million dollars in her GoFundMe account. Who sent the money and why? After graduating high school, River is living with her aunt, working at a cafe, and spending her free time with her best friend Tawny whose mother is never home. Sloan’s mother is absent, as she wandered off for a hike to find herself per usual but this time never returned. While Sloan’s boyfriend dumped her right before the fire, he’s back in town on a break from college and trying to get back in her life. However, Logan, the mysterious boy who works at the cafe alongside Tawny and Sloan, is finally starting to pay some attention to her after ignoring her since he started working. As Sloan puts together the pieces of the death of her father, missing mother, romantic life, and future plans, what will she discover?
I enjoyed reading this book. At times, the characters were a bit flat, and I felt the beginning of the story moved a bit slowly. However, as the mystery picked up, I was drawn into the story. I would recommend it for older teens/younger adults as I struggled to relate to the main character.
Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for access to an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I liked this book *ALMOST* as much as I liked "Everything We Never Said." This book carried over a lot of the things I liked from the other book- suspense, mystery, and romance. Although I will say the romance in this book was a lot heavier than I had anticipated, I enjoyed it. It added to the mystery of the book and had be suspicious of every character that we met. And I still never saw the ending coming- some things were predictable, but there were way more plot twists. This book was fast paced and very enjoyable. I don't know what else to say other than you need to read this book if you like suspense/thrillers! Given the content and themes I'd recommend this book for ages 16+. I can't wait to see what Sloan Harlow writes next! #NetGalley #NetGalleyARC #ARC

The plot on this one is really slow moving but it still kept my interest the entire time. I was hoping for something good to happen and it just kept being loss, loss, loss.. which I guess I should have known, given the title! I still enjoyed this one enough! I liked our MC’s and the side characters were interesting and the twist was really good!

I really enjoyed this book and I will say that I did not see the exact twist coming. Thrillers are not my usual read but I found this one to be fun and engaging. I liked the characters and the story line along with them. I enjoyed Sloan's style of writing and I thought she did the multiple POV well and expressed her characters clearly.

River Santos is struggling. Her boyfriend, that she thought was her future, broke up with her. Her mom has been missing for months. Her dad has died in a house fire that destroyed everything she had left. She only has two people she can turn to, her aunt and her best friend. She goes to work at her diner job and tries to pretend she’s okay. She takes a chance to find some happiness and begins a relationship with her coworker, Logan. Everything finally starts to swing River’s way, until it doesn’t. This book had a slow build up but not so slow that I felt it was dragging. Once things start to fall apart again for River, the twists and turns come fast and I did not want to put it down. Thank you NetGalley and Peguin Group for this eARC.

4 🌟
So many twists. 😮
If you've read Harlow before, you'll know exactly what you're getting yourself into with this book. If you haven't, hold on! I sometimes struggle with YA books but really enjoyed this one. Was it all believable?! Eh, probably not. Did I get sucked into the story? Absolutely. Will I be picking up more of her books?! 💯
Thanks, Netgalley for the ARC of this book!

The first half of this book is not good at all. It seems very random and weirdly pieced together, and the romance between Logan and River makes no sense. In one paragraph she's talking about how she's still in love with Nolan but then one paragraph later she's talking about how long she's been in love with Logan. The second half is better, but honestly, the best part of the book was that Tigery ended up with a home.

River’s world turns upside down when her dad dies in a house fire—and her mom disappears without a word. While trying to make sense of the mess her life has become, she starts working at a local diner... and that’s where she meets Logan.
Logan’s the classic bad boy with a quiet side and some pain of his own. He’s been through loss too, and the two connect fast. River finds comfort in him, even when things around her keep falling apart. Her best friend Tawny has her back no matter what, and just when she thinks things can’t get more complicated, her rich ex-boyfriend Noah—who dumped her right before the fire—shows up again.
YA thriller/romance that is a quick read. The ending seemed too far fetched for me, but...
Many thanks to NetGalley, Sloan Harlow and Penguin Young Readers Group for the opportunity to read All We Lost Was Everything.

An interesting YA romantic thriller with some interesting and sad twists and turns. This dragged a bit at the end for me, but I was invested in finding out the true story at the end.

i grabbed this book thinking it was a mystery/thriller first with a romantic subplot so i was very surprised when it read more like a romance with ... well, i hesitate to say there was a mystery. i'll be totally honest, it's been four months since i last tried to read this book so i don't remember much. i just remember the FMC having a lot of money and the mystery was who gave it to her? which was not a compelling enough mystery to keep me reading unfortunately and ultimately i ended up dnfing at 33%
three stars because the writing was good and if it were a Romance Novel i would maybe have been able to keep going, but i just expected a mystery and thriller and it was not delivering on that front
