This book was amazing. I am usually not a huge fan of second chances, but this one was very well written. High School sweethearts drift apart due to life and wanting to achieve their own goals. Forrest has never loved anyone but Shauna. A work conference trip leads to Forrest seeing Shauna again for the first time in 15 years. Which leads to another heartbreak when he finds out Shauna is engaged and is going to be married in 2 weeks. After sulking and finally talking with his younger twin brothers (Walker & Wyatt), he decides to go see Shauna the day of her wedding and confess his love and feelings. Will Shauna take a lead and take a second chance at love with Forrest?

This book has great spice, is funny, has great characters, story, and will have you hooked in chapter 1.
This is book 3 and the last one of the Newberry Springs series. You can read this book as a series or as a standalone. But I recommend reading the series in order:
Book 1 - Everything to Lose (Wyatt & Kelsea)
Book 2 - Everything He Couldn't (Walker & Evelyn)
Book 3 - Everything but You (Forrest & Shauna)


Everything but You Tropes:
  • Second chance 
  • Runaway bride
  • Forced proximity 
  • Grumpy hero
  • Small town
  • Meddlesome family
  • Found family
