All I Ever Wanted
by Kristin Higgins
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
My Review:
I just finished my second read of this book. I love Kristin
Higgins books for when I need to process/express emotions. I always
cry at some part in each of her books. I laugh a bunch too.
Callie seems so confident and I loved reading all of her snappy
comebacks. It felt like she never let anyone hurt her and yet she's
let her school girl crush manipulate her for years. She sees it's
time to move on but she has some laugh-out-loud bad dates.
On my first read, I had a really hard time with Ian. This book is
written first-person from Callie's perspective and I felt Ian was
rather harsh and mean sometimes. On this second read I see a bit
better how he's growing too and I liked him more.
I think I cried through about the last third of this book. Parts
of it are very sad, but underneath all that sadness is hope. Hope as
you see Callie find the strength to grow up, to let go and to see her
own power.
