Nina, the main character in All We Ever Wanted, hails from Bristol, TN. How I enjoyed reading about familiar places in both Bristol and Nashville. That always makes me happy! It also lent an air of authenticity and realism to the story.
It took me a long time to finish this book. I enjoyed it very much, but it wasn’t a page-turner that made me want to stay up all night. I did want to find out what happened to the characters. There was so much back-and-forth gossip between parents, kids, and everyone in between. I would have been okay with skipping to the final chapters just to find out how it ended. Though I would definitely read another Emily Giffin novel, I prefer the lighthearted kind that doesn’t seem so much like a problem I’d see in real life. Sometimes I’m okay with living in a fairy tale world.
