This was such an emotional read. 
It explored the experiences of grief and reconciliation as well as finding happines despite the void in one's heart, a permanent empty space, and learning to live life again. 

I cried throughout the story and at first it was painful to read but gradually, just like what the characters experienced, the pain became bearable. 

After going through the story with the characters, I felt a sense of closure and am so happy for it.
Bittersweet and hopeful.

It was really good until the pregnancy, then it got a lot more week. Still it was easy to read and I enjoy most of it!

me who thought I couldn't love Kacey more. omg she is definitely one of my favorite characters. I really liked how grief is handled in this book and the path that characters go through to heal. It was truly an amazing read.

(English edition: All in)

Finalmente li o segundo livro desta Duologia. Confesso que no início me custou, por ainda não ter superado o final do primeiro livro. Mas depois de aceitar o que tinha acontecido consegui deixar-me envolver na continuação desta história.
A partir daqui irei dar spoilers do primeiro livro, portanto se ainda não o leram, NÃO continuem a ler esta review.




Depois da morte de Jonah, Kacey volta a deixar que os seus demónios a controlem. Cada vez se sente mais perdida e não sabe como irá viver sem o amor da sua vida. Mesmo que lhe tenha prometido que iria voltar a amar.

Por outro lado, Theo prometeu ao seu irmão que iria amar Kacey, mas como poderá fazer isso sabendo o quão ela era feliz ao lado de Jonah? Como irão os seus amigos e familiares reagir? Será possível que algo aconteça entre eles?

Confesso que no início me custou saber que muito provavelmente a Kacey e o Theo iriam acabar por ter alguma coisa. Não estava preparada para a ver seguir em frente. Afinal, aquilo que Kacey teve com o Jonah, nunca terá com mais ninguém. Adoro o Theo, mas a Kacey e o Jonah eram almas gémeas. Sei que a fará feliz e fico contente, por ela merece o seu final feliz.

Apesar de tudo, a segunda parte deste livro tirou-me da ressaca literária e só por isso já recomendo este livro. Mas o primeiro tem um lugar guardadinho no meu coração!

Ganz große Liebe für dieses Buch!!!❤️‍🩹
Ursprünglich wollte ich den 2. Teil der All in-Reihe ja sogar boykottieren, aber dadurch dass meine Schwester mit das Buch geschenkt hat, habe ich es zum Glück doch gelesen!
<spoiler: die Grundidee, dass Kacey und Theo sich nun nach Jonah‘s Tod näher kommen fand ich zu Beginn ehrlicherweise sehr befremdlich…>
Aber Chapeau- diese doch sehr unkonventionelle und riskante Lovestory wurde so so gut ausgearbeitet, dass ich zu keinem Zeitpunkt das Gefühl hatte, dass die Handlung komisch oder pietätlos sei (was ich anfangs befürchtet habe…). 
Während ich zu Theo im ersten Band nicht wirklich eine Verbindung aufgebaut habe, ist er mir im 2. Band sehr schnell sehr ans Herz gewachsen. Seine Perspektive ist super ehrlich und so pur dass man sich wahnsinnig gut in seine Lage hereinversetzen kann. Generell habe ich selten ein Buch gelesen, bei welchem der stetige POV-Wechsel so realistisch und authentisch wirkte, wie in diesem Buch. Ich bin total begeistert, dass Emma Scott es tatsächlich geschafft hat die Geschichte von Theo und Kacey zu realisieren, ohne dass mir etwas übel aufstößt. Und das ist meiner Meinung nach eine Mammutaufgabe, da die Storyline des Buches doch sehr gewagt und heikel ist. Die Autorin perfektioniert allerdings ihre Gabe Gefühle zu vermitteln dadurch, dass sie der Lovestory genügend (aber auch nicht zu viel) Vorlauf gegeben hat und auch die stetigen Zweifel von Theo und Kacey schonungslos thematisiert hat.
Emotional hat mich das Buch auch sehr erreicht, sodass bei mir einige Male die Tränchen geflossen sind…🥹
So sehr ich mir doch ursprünglich für Kacey und Jonah ein Happy End gewünscht habe, desto mehr freue ich mich dass Kacey letztlich auch durch Theo endlich wieder glücklich sein darf. ❤️‍🩹
Wirklich offtopic aber das Buch hat mir auch noch mehr Lust auf ein eigenes Tatoo gemacht…🤭

This book was the perfect sequel to the first. This might be in my top books for the year.

I don't say tis often, but i think in this series the second book was better than the first. The first book was amazing, don't get me wrong, but All In was perfect, it had everything you could ever ask for in a book! 10/10!
