All I Ever Wanted by Vikki Wakefield
4.0
Good, pacey book with an engaging plot and well-developed characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns of this meandering story - they never seemed contrived but on reflection created a book full of interest and good storytelling.
The book includes the existence of sex, drugs and swearing so probably more recommended to people 14 years and older. A perfect read for curious kids looking to get out of their dead-end small towns and discover the world and what they can make in it.
I wish I'd had this book to read myself at 15. All I Ever Wanted was smart, savvy and realistic. The ending was incredibly emotional and had me tearing up on the train - definitely not usual behaviour.
Although the story is definitely not G-rated, it's never gratuitous and fits the story and it's characters perfectly.
