Review: When You Were Everything

Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):

You can't rewrite the past, but you can always choose to start again.

It’s been twenty-seven days since Cleo and Layla’s friendship imploded.

Nearly a month since Cleo realized they’ll never be besties again.

Thoughts:

Friendship is messy and this novel shows all the sides of the story. Losing friends

is different than outgrowing them but when you`re in the moment it's hard to tell the

difference.

Looking back at my high school years it seemed filled with real friends but now

I know I was seeing it from a different view. When you grow apart as friends it

doesn't have to be abrupt sometimes the most painful losses happen over time.

Ending a friendship over hateful thoughts and words is not healthy and it shows

how big of a person you are by speaking up and admitting when you`ve done

something hurtful. Cleo and Layla show readers what not to do and how to grow.

Overall a great contemporary read that teaches a life lesson even as adults we

can learn from.

TTFN,

Ashley
