Not my normal genre and I found it unexciting and a little slow,
Two teens that go to a pricey private high school, Finch, from an affluent family and Layla from a single father and a carpenter get together over objections of their parents.
The author explores issues of our time such as race relations, social media and sexual assault.
The characters are forgettable and I wasn't impressed with the writing.

All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin is a book based on current headlines. White privilege. Racial discrimination. Economic Disparity. Immigration. The #metoo movement Some of this book goes in the expected direction; characters and actions stay true to the stereotypes being drawn. However, what I appreciate the most is that the book does not end in a neat package. The ending adds more depth to the point being made by the entire story. It leaves me with a lot to think about.
