A review by babblingchatterreads
All We Were by Elisabeth Grace, Michelle Lynn
3.0
A ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 stars start of a new duet. We have two long time friends, James "Jimmy" Crawford and Lilah Robbie who has lived a troublesome life and experiences no one would like to be in. They were able to start fresh somewhere new and make something more of themselves. Life is coming along accordingly and away from where their life started.
However, Lilah's model life and James's celebrity status can be challenging especially for Lilah. She tends to fall back on old bad habits thanks to her demons and past that she cannot let go. Her only home, Jimmy is constantly her rock and he is hoping for more between the two. A secret that only the two have shared and kept can make or break them in the long run.
Although I may have mixed thoughts on the start of this duet; it gave me the feels from different angles and perspectives. Let me start of by saying that I like this cover. It captures the characters perfectly in this read and the colors used stood out. Along with the synopsis it caught my eye and had me intrigued.
The constant back and forth is present throughout the read and will have you itching for more for both parties. The chemistry between the two is utterly present when they are in the same room but is it enough to get to a future that they are both seeking for one another? The character of Jimmy is one that will have you falling for his loyalty and being frustrated with him at the same time. Lilah was challenging to root for her thanks to the choices she has made that will have your head spinning. When they only have and depended on each other for many years...letting go (especially when it is for the best) is not an easy feat. Just when you think it is progressing in a positive slope we are left with a cliffy that had my heart breaking, pissed off, and even more torn.
This is one roller coaster ride of a read. I'm curious to see what path(s) the authors will make their story go.
