All The Things We Lost by Kayla Tirrell

4.0

I’ve been struggling a lot lately with YA contemporary stories, and this one was a good bridge version - because Katie is 18, fresh out of high school, so honestly it felt more New Adult to me. At the very beginning we find out that Katie’s parents are divorced, she’s living with her mom and her dad is out west - a tragedy strikes, forcing her to make some hard choices. I really enjoyed that this book wasn’t so nice & happy- these kids dealt with some hard choices and were already being forced to live like true adults right out of school. I really enjoyed the relationships that formed and how even though all Katie wanted to do was run, she decided to figure it out, and face her fears.



I listened to this one on audible, it was a short 5 hour or so narration. The narrator was enjoyable, she did a great job distinguishing between characters as the POV switched with every other chapter. There were a few breathy moments, and chapter breaks where I experienced some background noise, but overall the narration was enjoyable.
