Everything We Never Said by Sloan Harlow

4.5

Everything We Never Said by Sloan Harlow stands out from other YA stories with its unique blend of suspense, romance, and impactful topics. The story revolves around Ella, who is grappling with the death of her best friend, Haley, and her growing romantic feelings for Sawyer, Haley's boyfriend. As Ella delves deeper into the mystery of that fateful night and uncovers more of Hayley's secrets, the suspense escalates to a thrilling climax that left me breathless.

The emotional depth of Everything We Never Said is what truly resonated with me. It's not just a fast-paced suspenseful romance, but a poignant exploration of domestic abuse and anger management issues among teens. The author's portrayal, though heightened for dramatic effect, is still authentic enough to be both enlightening and impactful.

Yet, as always, I loved the fast pace and the building suspense! The story holds a few twists and turns that left my jaw on the floor, and my hat is off to the author for that last big twist. I thought I had it all figured out, but I was mistaken if I thought that was the end of the story. My jaw is still lingering on the floor.

This book is perfect if you love YA Romantic Suspense that will shock you and impact you far beyond the story.
