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!

Thank you to Penguin Group and NetGalley for the ARC of All We Lost Was Everything in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, I very much enjoyed this read. A tiny hint of dark romance wrapped in a mystery that keeps you coming back for more. I will say first and foremost, I was a little shocked that this was categorized under Teens & YA as I feel the content is a bit too graphic for that, even though the main character is 18 years old. There are aspects that definitely fall on more of the romance side, but to each their own I suppose. In leu of that, I very much enjoyed this book and it makes me want to check out Sloan’s other works.

Long story short, River is 18 years old and reeling from the loss of quite literally everything. Not only did she lose her home to a fire, but she also lost her father in that home on the same night her boyfriend, Noah, dumped her out of the blue. Just prior to the fire that ravaged her life, her mother also walked on out them, effectively leaving her homeless and without any immediate family. She ends up being taken in by her aunt and has her best friend, Tawny, for support. After the fire, Tawny sets up a GoFundMe page for River, and someone anonymously donates $2 million to her cause. But River has absolutely no idea who would do such a thing.

Refusing to use the money, River takes a job at the local diner with Tawny where she meets Logan, a handsome and rather broody coworker who refuses to acknowledge River’s presence. As fate may have it, River slowly breaks down Logan’s defenses and she encounters a different side of him. Could he be the anonymous donor? Slowly but surely, secrets always have a way of eroding and River’s family sure seems to have their fair share of them. Is anyone actually who they say they are? River is about to find out who she can trust and who she cannot.

Filled with twists and turns that I personally did not see coming, River’s story is both heartbreaking and beautiful. I really struggled with having to put this down because…life, but was always excited to pick it back up again. For lovers of dark romance, mystery and thrillers, All We Lost Was Everything is a great read that keeps you engaged from the very beginning. Solid 4.5 out of 5, rounding down for this one! Mark your calendars for May 6th as I’m sure you will want to add this one to your TBR list!

This book was like a ketchup bottle. In the beginning it's very slow and almost nothing comes out or happens but then everything happens at once. I enjoyed it despite the pacing problem. It's spicy, more spicy than I would expect from an YA.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the chance to read this book.

I didn't realize this is a YA novel until I started reading and that genre isn't my thing. So sorry.

River is grappling with her dad’s death in a fire, her mom’s year-long disappearance, and a recent breakup. With her aunt, best friend, and a potential romance with the broody boy from work, she’s trying to move on. What starts as a story about grief spirals into a wild ride of secrets and twists. A quick, intriguing read in the New Adult genre!

I enjoyed it but wasn’t in love with it. Was pretty spicy for being a YA novel and I did enjoy the twisty twists.

“ Proof that my entire life isn’t a lie”

What is it somebody can lose when they have nothing to lose …everything they have left, their lies, their trust, their secrets, the foundation they have built trust on.

River has just lost her dad, her mom has done one of her famous disappearing acts and somebody started a GoFundMe account for her and there was an anonymous $2 million donation.

This book had so many twists and and turns, I didn’t see them coming, and it had me reading it in in one sitting! I finished this book in a day and I absolutely loved it!

Firstly I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this ARC. I enjoyed this book, but I will say it was a little slow to get going for me. Then all of a sudden there were a ton of reveals and it felt like they all happened super fast,. As I was reading it I thought "It would have been nice if we could have one thing revealed a little sooner. No spoilers of course...all in all it was enjoyable. 4 out of 5 stars!!

The turns and twists had me engaged. I could have done with less of the stalker boyfriend. Definitely not a healthy relationship.

Tons of twists in this book that I didn’t see coming. River is grieving the loss of her father and the disappearance of her mother as she tries to make a life and fall in love. A little more spice than I was expecting from YA! But a good book!

This is the second arc by Sloan I have reviewed and she delivered once again. This book is emotional and it's a roller coaster as River dives into the past to find the truth about her parents and what may have happened to them as well as adapting to her new normal. There are a few different mysteries involved in this one and it had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't wait for my reading time each day.

River is is still dealing with the death of her dad in a fire the same evening her long term boyfriend broke up with her. Her mom who has been know to go for walks in the woods when life gets to be too much has also been missing for about a year. Luckily she still has her aunt, her best friend and maybe a budding relation ship with the broody boy from work. This book I starts off as a nice story about a girl dealing with grief and trying to move on. The further you get the more crazy it gets. There a secrets upon secrets that are revealed. At first I was kind of annoyed with River for having that overly angst 18 year old “no one ever told me anything” attitude. At first I was you were a child and some of this was no one of your business. By the end I was willing to give her a complete pass. I got sucked into the story and was surprised by not most of the plot twists. An overall interesting quick read in the New Adult genre.
