All Our Yesterdays

This book was so amazingly confusing. Not as in hard to understand, but as in truly befuddling as you read it. I loved how you slowly start to understand what’s going on; a confusion I didn’t mind at all. The reveals were wonderfully worded (everything was, actually), and not surprising at all; but surprising all the same (like I said: confusing).

The plot was amazing. The love story was too. So were the characters. Em’s personality was very interesting, and her character development (how she slowly, metaphorically and literally, starts to teach herself how to love herself) really makes for a very positive underlying message that leaves me with this satisfying feeling of happiness because of the fact that this message is out there being conveyed by authors like these for all to read. I specially loved how she sometimes, just for a moment, foretells what would happen if a certain decision was taken by someone in the situation she’s in, how she imagines how everything would play out in the near future, as if pointing out how one simple decision can completely change the outcome.

This book was thrilling, funny, heart-breaking, and most importantly, interesting. I read it in one-siting, and it really felt like time well spent, which is ultimately what I expect from reading a genuinely good book. What a rush.
