It was fine. It was quick and easy to read, nothing complex to the story or thought provoking to make you awk down and take your time with the book. Kinda a rip off Emily in Paris but rushed

Review also on goodreads

Get ready to go to Paris and experience high fashion! This was a fun summer read. I'm so glad I read it during the summer because I felt like I was in Paris with Milo. Milo is a complicated character. At times, I was rooting for him and then there were moments I disliked him. I guess that was the point because he had good character growth and learned his lesson. Rhodes on the other hand, I loved him from the start. I just wanted to give him a hug and tell him he can conquer the world. My main qualm with this is the nonexistent romance. I was so excited for a cute boy love/mm romance, but there was only like 5% of that. It wasn't even anything official either. I also had moments where I started getting bored with the fashion stuff because I wanted more of Milo and Rhodes. The storyline was mainly focused on the fashion aspect, but lacked the romance part big time. Overall, I did enjoy it just wish it actually had romance, especially since that's what it's marketed as.

A fun M/M normie/famous person YA romance…in the fashion world of Paris! Some chaotic YA level drama, poor decisions, and lessons learned, but overall a fast, and enjoyable summer read!

I got this book as a digital arc from NetGalley, and I can say this book is easily one of my favorite romance books I have read in a very long time. I love everything about it! The French bits added (obviously it's set in France, but still), the friendship between Milo and literally any of his friends, the relationship he has with his brother Noel. I loved how painfully realistic the tension was between him and Rhodes. I really rooted for both of them, and their pain felt real! I thought the pacing was nice, I just wish it didn't end! I want more!

Overall, though, this is a five star read for me! I loved absolutely everything about it, and will be reading other works from this author as soon as possible!

Robby Weber's Everything About You is an endearing coming of age story set in beautiful Paris.

Milo is 18 and has an incredible chance at an apprenticeship for a fashion house in France. Being a young adult finding independence is hard enough, but in another country? He also deals with a lot of anxiety, and this is a strong theme throughout the story. Robby has done a wonderful job with this mental health representation.

Rhodes is a bit of a celebrity and has had to handle life in very different ways from Milo. Both of them struggle to figure out adulthood while still balancing expectations of family and friends. And they learn lessons along the way about each other and not making assumptions.

I also  loved that while this was a queer relationship, it wasn't in any way an issue. Queer normative stories are so important!

This story was filled with so many wonderful moments, great friendships, growth, and young love. Get this book and come along on this sweet adventure!

YA Spice level = kissing

When I started this story, I was under the impression that I wasn't necessarily a fan of nepo babies, but that I didn't mind them as long as they aware of their privilege. However, after reading this book, I learned that I actually hate nepo babies. Milo treated Rhodes horribly. And normally, when a teenager acts irrationally in a YA novel, I just kind of roll my eyes and wait for them to see the error of their ways. But in this book I was fully on Milo's side (I'm honestly still kind of on Milo's side).
Anyway though, while I enjoyed this novel, I thought the romance was the worst part. To start, I just don't understand it. Why was Rhodes even into Milo at all? Milo treated Rhodes horribly the entire time, yet Rhodes still wanted to be in a relationship with him. It just didn't make any sense. I would have understood it more if it was just built up resentment on Milo's part, but he was vicious. Milo told Rhodes off on multiple occasions and tried to sabotage him. Yet Rhodes still wanted to date Milo.
I also didn't like how Milo was basically willing to give up his dream because of his relationship with Rhodes. It was just really disappointing. Like really? You are willing to give up everything for a boy you started dating a couple weeks ago?
Even though I found the romance disappointing, I did like Milo and his passion to succeed. I was also happy that this book had repercussions. These repercussions weren't always right away, but it's always nice when you actually get cause and effect in a story.
I like the core plot and messing of this book, but the romance just really didn't work for me.

Très Dramatic – And Très Fun!
Imagine if Andy Sachs was a teenage boy with big dreams, a sharp tongue, and a surprising crush on his biggest competition—oh, and it’s very gay. That’s Everything About You in a nutshell.

Robby Weber brings us a fashion-forward, drama-packed, heart-eyes-heavy story with Milo and Rhodes as our favorite disaster duo. Their tension? Off the charts. Their banter? Sharp enough to cut silk. And yes, you’ll want to throw the book across the room—but out of love.

Are some moments exaggerated? Sure. Are the timelines fuzzy, especially when Rhodes’ twin and Celeste pop in and out? Also yes. But guess what? It’s YA—it’s not trying to be logical, it’s trying to be fun. And it succeeds.

So pour yourself a café au lait, brush up on your French verbs, and enjoy the ride. C’est l’amour, baby!

Thank you HarperCollins, NetGalley, and Robby Weber for this eARC!!

Robby Weber is a YA master. I love every book he's ever written, and this is no different. Set this time in Paris, the story follows an excited teen in his hard won spot at a prestigious fashion house, who finds out his spot is being directly challenged by a rich nepo baby.

Milo infuriated me at times, but I can't say he didn't grow as a character. I loved that he and Rhodes didn't immediately get back together by the end, but that their relationship was left more open to the future set outside of the realm of the book. They were messy, and they needed a lot of work, and Milo had a lot of groveling to do. I was left with this bittersweet feeling at the end, and it was such a nice feeling to have. The side characters were there just enough to feel like they had a place in the book, even though they weren't as well rounded as they could've been. The book as a whole was a bit slow to start, but really have Red White and Royal Blue vibes all throughout which made it easier to read as that's a beloved book in my eyes. So glad to have been able to receive a copy from Netgalley to read and review.

Everything happens for a reason. That is the overall lesson of this adorable YA book about resilience. Milo is 18 and is determined to make the most of his summer apprenticeship at an esteemed French clothing line. I mean, a summer in France? Who could ask for better. His end goal is to impress them and land a permanent position. What could go wrong. Enter Rhodes Hamilton, famous in London. When Milo finds out him and Rhodes will be competing for ONE permanent position, he knows he must win at all costs. As he gets to know Rhodes though, will his personal feelings get in the way of his end goal?

This book made me laugh out loud and feel all the feels. I want to live in their world and be friends with Milo and Rhodes. If you are looking for a sweet YA to add to your TBR, look no further!

Everything About You is a fast paced story with a moderate amount of romance and characters you see pieces of yourself in. Milo gets a chance to pursue his dreams, but realizes it won’t be as simple as he thought. Throughout the uncertainties he encounters, he realizes that life is full of possibilities and things always have a way of working out. Rhodes has always felt like he needed to fit in to keep up with those around him, but one apprenticeship offers a whole new perspective.

Everything About You by Robby Weber was an average read for me. I’d give it two stars—while I appreciated the Paris setting, which added a charming backdrop, the rest of the story fell somewhat flat. The writing felt very youthful, and I struggled to connect with the characters on a deeper level. Perhaps if I were a teenager, I might have found it more engaging, but as it stands, it just didn’t quite resonate with me.

This is my first Robby Weber book. I think that's a good way to start this review. Because it lets you know I have no bias here.

Having said that, this book is quite adorable. It is YA, so it doesn't go past kissing (thank goodness). There is a lot of romantic tension though, considering the leads are in competition with one another.

Weber delivers a cute journey through Paris in this story. The two young men are up against one another for a coveted position in a fashion house. There are issues such as mental health struggles, absent family members, and grief discussed, which I feel elevates the story even more.

My only wish is for MORE. The ending is very, very abrupt. I think it works well enough. I just wish I could see what came next. Again, this is my first from this author. IDK if this is their MO or not.

Overall, a good read. Well worth the time I spent fitting it in when I should have been working on my own deadlines. lol

Huge thanks to NetGalley, HarperCollins Children's Books | Storytide, and Robby Weber for the eARC.

Milo's dream apprenticeship in Paris takes a nasty turn when his archrival Rhodes Hamilton shows up to ruin his plans. This is a delightful enemies to lovers story set in the romantic backdrop of Paris and is a fun summer read. I absolutely loved it.

I decided to give Robby Weber another try and I enjoyed this one overall. While it felt a little unrealistic, I suspended some disbelief and thought it was pretty cute. I just wish I felt more strongly about the characters because that would have helped me be more invested in the story. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

I enjoyed this book for the most part. It took me a bit to get through though, which was mostly because of a disconnect from the characters. The premise is fun, a little bit but Devil Wears Prada, a little bit "You'll always be known as the girl who didn't go to Paris." It should be an easy breezy read, but unfortunately that characters and their dialogue lost it's appeal about halfway through the book to me.

It falls into a lot of YA tropes that I don't enjoy, so I definitely had to solider on through to the end, but I'm glad I did. I'd say the best part of the book is the first 30% and the last 30%. It starts and ends well, it's just that the middle is a slog to get through.

Milo is unlikable, but that's by design so it didn't bother me too much. Rhodes, however, isn't as well defined and the relationship portion of the book suffers for it.

I rounded up to three stars because it's overall not amazing, but not terrible.

Milo is an athlete with a love for fashion and a desire to make it in the industry. He secured an apprenticeship at the prestigious and amazing “Maison Dauphine.” Landing this apprenticeship is a dream with a job at the end of the summer if Milo does well. Except Milo finds out he has to compete with Rhodes Hamiltion for the job – because now only the best apprentice can win.

Enter Rhodes Hamilton. Nepo baby, brother of a famous athlete, and loveable golden retriever who wants to create a name for himself in the shadow of his family. Rhodes is flashy and wants to do his best – but he also really likes Milo.

What’s the worst that could happen?

This book was an easy read that left me wanting more. Robby Weber not only writes characters that you fall in love with but also that you want the best for. Milo’s character development throughout the novel left me speechless until the very last page. The relationship that Rhodes and Milo build resonates with queer romance but it is written in a way that you want to see them in different locations and settings (i.e. I need another book of them after Paris!!!).

If you love the following tropes/ideas, you will love this novel:
1. Competitive grumpy x Golden Retriever Sunshine
2. Fashion assistants and PR
3. Paris vibes
4. Nepo Baby x Athlete
5. Risks x Falling in Love

A special thank you to Robby Weber, HarperCollins Children’s Books, and Netgalley for a gifted copy/eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Everything About You is a fun young adult romance that follows Milo to France after he has been awarded a prestigious internship at a very reputable fashion house. Geared up and ready for his first day he finds himself suddenly in competition with Rhodes, whose celebrity connections (mom, dad, and brother) tend to also make him a household name. Off to a rocky start with their futures at risk, these two have to decide if they are going to be friends, enemies, or something in between.

We follow Milo and Rhodes to see where this journey will take them. In a story that centers on romance we get a unique look into navigating complicated family dynamics, work colleagues, and discovering what you want for your future. This book captured the intense emotional waves that come with adolescence and finding yourself. Our characters and their wishy washy natures and back forth really demonstrates this plight, while at times it can feel repetitive I think it truly captures how intense emotions can be when it feels like everything you worked for is at stake, and that is complicated by feelings you both want to have and don't want to have.

If you want a book that explores hidden depths while its character exemplifies teen emotional experiences, I would check this out. It was a good read and I very much enjoyed it! Thank you to the publisher for providing an advanced readers copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Everything About You follows two men - Milo and Rhodes - who are both given the same apprenticeship in Paris at a fashion house. The only problem? Only one of them can secure the job at the end of the summer. Milo really needs the opportunity to jump start his career; for him chances like this don’t come often. Rhodes, the more affluent and charmed, wants the chance to prove himself and step out from his brother’s shadow. As inevitable sparks fly, Milo has to decide what he’s willing to do, and perhaps give up, for love. Can he really have both?

This was a cute story, and a smooth, quick read! I didn’t feel that it was anything revolutionary, and the romance was nice if a bit frustrating at times. I wouldn’t necessarily call Milo and Rhodes “enemies to lovers” as much as say Rhodes is Milo’s “enemy to lover.” I found Rhodes affable and charming and found Milo more of the instigator. I wish it had leaned into the location a little bit more, but overall I was pleased.

*3.5 stars
There's something about Weber's protagonists that nearly always rubs me the wrong way. I don't relate to their short-sighted, hypercompetitive spirit, which is okay because a flawed character can make a great character. However, it seems they're always pushed just a bit too far in that direction that I find it difficult to think them deserving of the love interest they've nearly always wronged in some way. This is a fun European romp of a rom-com, and I loved being in the fashion world. But beware that the main character may have you pulling your hair out.

Thank you to Robby Weber and HarperCollins Children's Books | Storytide for the advanced reading copy in exchange for honest review.

Robby... we have to talk. How did you enter my brain? Tennis player with anxiety in Florida who wants to work for a legendary fashion house... literally describes me in high school. Everything in this book felt like it was picked from my life and I think the writing really leaves room for everything to find pieces of themselves, even if they are not as specific. I loved the story obviously, but even more so, I loved the writing around anxiety. It felt real and natural. So often, discussions of mental health can feel like an afterthought, but Robby's writing allows room for the topic to breathe and resonate deeply.

My only real issue with the book is that the ending felt really rushed. The last 30% of the book gave me whiplash and it felt like some of the moments could have used more fleshing out to be truly impactful. But overall, a gorgeous story. Will be reading everything Robby puts out.
