Everyone We’ve Been is a thought-provoking and well written novel. You feel pulled in from the beginning. This book raises many questions. Do we have to forget our past if what occurred is too painful to us even if it means erasing a part of what we are? I loved this book and will remember it for long.
I found Sarah Everett’s novel beautifully written. It’s a dazzling love story full of mystery and unusual twists and turns. It’s a book about grief and culpability, a complex and thought-provoking story you should absolutely read!
