All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin
4.0
I read the first few chapters and feel this story is all too relatable for many people.
As a mother of a thirteen year old girl and a future teenage son the beginning of this story resonated with me. My daughter has yet to go to a party or drink but I know all too well how real this scenario is.
At an age where your brain is still developing and you can’t think fast enough to make rational decisions you’re faced with tough choices. Lyla who is your typical teenage girl pushes the boundaries, and has an active social media presence that can be fulfilling and dangerous.
I would love to read this book and see how everything plays out. Does Fitch ruin his dreams for Princeton with a poor choice? Does Lyla get cast as the “villainous victim” which we often see women and girls portrayed as in our society?
It seems to me like this book is going in an all too real direction that needs to be addressed continuously until there is no longer any need to do so.
