Reggie communication. I‘m still shocked at the ending for one of the characters which I don‘t think was a stuck landing. Overall, a pick. 4y

We Have Everything Before Us | Esther Yin-Ling Spodek

pick

I'd like to thank LibraryThing and Gibson House Press for sending this ARC.

A novel of disillusionment and loneliness that shares the unsettling dramas of love; in a sympathetic, yet unforgiving story of infidelity and emotional ambivalence. With a great sense of humor.

A great story of humanity, relationships, and personal responsibility.

A fast but highly recommended read.

Reggie Can we just talk about Kaye‘s end in here for a hot minute? I kinda felt the whole she had a bag packed for a while. But you just went after your child in the tornado. I just don‘t feel like the next and last move is, let me call a taxi to maybe take me to the airport because I‘m leaving my family. Other than that I liked this book and all the messages about to be sent and then erased. 4y
