All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin

5.0

WOW. I absolutely LOVED this. I couldn't put it down, especially the last fifty pages. I've never read an Emily Giffin novel before but now I definitely will be reading more! This story will stick with me--a concerned father, a mother taking off her rose-colored glasses, and a 16 year old girl who isn't sure what to believe. Yes, this follows the plot of an awful picture of Lyla going around the school. But it's so much more than that! It's a commentary on a mother's love for her son, the blurry lines between class/privilege and education, and the way teenage girls find out who they are and what they are capable of. God, I just loved it so much. One of my favorites of this year for sure.

5/5 fantastic stars

EDIT: oof just found out Emily Giffin as a person actually sucks re: meghan markle....just kidding i will not be reading more of her books lol
