Everything We Ever Wanted by Sara Shepard
2.0
To be honest, I expected more out of this title. Everything We Ever Wanted was little more than a paperback romance, but it tried to be deeper. The rich Bates-McAllisters' lives have suddenly become more complicated: Scott (the grown-up adopted son) may have been involved in hazing that caused the death of a high school student. Sylvie (the matriarch)belongs to the school board, and now has to deal with the scandel and shame of what Scott did (or did not...we don't know). Charles (the uptight older brother)is unhappy in both his work and marriage and still dealing with his dead father's lack of love and affection. Joanne (Charles' wife) is unhappy and confused about which McAllister brother she really loves.
Does that sound like a soap opera? It's how the book read. Though Sara Shepard's writing was not bad, per se, it wasn't engaging.
I have no problem with fluff books, but I don't want them to pretend to be more than they are. Recommended only to those who were intrigued by the plot.
