This book was very similiar to You've reached Sam, but I liked it way more. You've reached Sam is all about grief and dealing with it, but in All this time the grief is described less. The characters actually deal with it in the story and learn to be happy, unlike in You've reached Sam. The romance was cute and slow-burn. And the plot twist!! I was not expecting that! The actual end wasn't that great though.

However, what I enjoyed the most was the main character's personality. He had no problem with opening up to people, he always talked a lot to and appreciated his mom, which was super cute, and it was refreshing to see a male character so open about his feelings (maybe it's because women wrote him XD)
