Do you ever just read or listen to a book and you know that it is objectively a good novel but just not the right one for you? Maybe it is the wrong time, or place but you just do not vibe with it. That was my experience with All of You Every Single One.
The novel follows a gay and lesbian couples during the 1900s in Vienna. Julia, Eve and Rolf were the best characters by far. I loved their relationships and the time we spent with them in the beginning 50% of the book but the rest just seemed to drag on. These three are the ONLY reason I finished the book, I wanted to see if any of their actions would have consciences (they did not) and how they would make it during the rise of the Nazi regime.
I did not care for Elsa, I found her to be a whiny brat with no regard for others and the danger she puts them in. She was just one of the many characters that were either underutilized, pushed aside or just plain forgotten as the story goes on.
Final Thoughts - Loved reading about the three main characters, whose history has been passed over but this was just a drawn-out book that did not keep me interested.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
