This was the first book I read by Emily Giffin so I have no way to compare All We Ever Wanted to any of her many other books. However, given all I’ve heard about this author, I was left feeling a bit disappointed. All I Ever Wanted felt too familiar and a bit predictable. While some of the dialogue was cliche, I enjoyed the multiple POVs.
While it was a fast and satisfactory read, All We Ever Wanted is not something I would ever re-read again. The writing was O.K. and the storyline was interesting but there was insufficient character development for my liking. No one was three-dimensional — I didn’t feel like I got to know anyone sufficiently to care. However, I was a little intrigued and interested to see how it moved forward. The ending felt abrupt and the 10 year later epilogue didn’t seem necessary. I think the story would’ve been better served with one more chapter in the present to wrap it up.
