Only Everything

★★★☆☆ (2.5/5)

Only Everything follows three different points of views throughout the entire book; Eros/True, Charlie, and Katrina. Eros is the daughter of love that has fallen for a mortal and banished to Earth to make 3 couples fall in love so she can have her love of her life back, Orion. Charlie is a new kid that has a father that is focused around football. Charlie feels out of place at every school but now he is actually fitting in! Katrina is someone who just picked her self up again after losing her father but still has to deal with her abusive/arrogant boyfriend and distant mother.

Only Everything was a little cringe worthy and the writing wasn't the best out there. The author's writing was kind of childish and the way the characters acted were childish. The main character, True, was very distant from how humans felt. You would think that “cupid” would know how to make people fall in love but she was just throwing people together in the beginning and after an hour said they “loved” each other. Her personality was just unrealistic. I understand that the author wanted her to learn a lesson about how love really is and also to learn how to be considerate toward people on Earth but she was just too stupid when it came to how people actually felt.

I think the only character I really liked reading about was Katrina. She was a hurt teenager that would express her feelings through her writing and now to other people. She did have some annoying things about her, like her boyfriend Ty, but for the most part I really enjoyed reading about her.

Throughout the entire book, it felt like the author didn't understand teenagers. I was enjoying it for the most part until around 3/4 into the book. Charlie is someone that plays drums really well and ends up in a band. Most of the people around him were like, “Charlie that is so uncool! Everyone is going to think you're lame! Ew!” My reaction was pretty much, “wtf are you talking about?! Drummers are hot.” It felt like the author didn't understand or didn't care about how teenagers act in the real world.

The rest of the book was decent. The ending was obviously going to happen because True had to set someone up with each other. That was the entire point of the book. Now the next two are going to be centered around another couple. I probably won't pick it up. There was a chapter of the next book that did make me sort of curious of what is going to happen in the next book, but not really. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone unless it sounds interesting to them. I just didn't enjoy the writing and is seemed childish.
