“I was excited to start this one because the cover looked so adorable and the synopsis sounded cute, I did like it but it didn't live up to my exceptions.

“I was excited to start this one because the cover looked so adorable and the synopsis sounded cute, I did like it but it didn't live up to my exceptions.

Told in alternating POV's between Skye and Seth.

Skye and Seth meet one summer at a beach party and instantly fall head over heels in love. They part ways after spending just two days together and can't seem to get each other out of their heads for the next few years.
When they bump into each other things resume as if they didn't go anywhere.

The characters were a little bit flat. Skye was whiny and annoying.

It was boring in some parts, maybe not boring but slow, it came to a standstill in the middle of the book. Along with the break, a three year time break, that made things a little confusing.

This was the second Susane Colasanti book I have read, the first being Keep Holding On, and while they were very different stories, I could definitely tell they were from the same author.

I think All I Need is a quick, fun, sweet summer read. Perfect beach read that's for sure!

Thank Penguin and NetGalley for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

“I came to this book with no expectations. I had no idea what it was about, I only knew it was reputedly a good read. It was.

The story is narrated by someone who thinks in an odd way. Perhaps he suffers from autism, or some other condition; it doesn't really matter. It's a work of fiction, and the unusual thought patterns are also fictional. The interest is in seeing the world through the eyes of someone who thinks in a different way.

There's a passage somewhere near the start where the narrator discusses Aliens; if we ever meet an Alien, it'll probably be nothing like what we expected. Sharing the mind of someone with 'learning difficulties' might be a similar experience. That seems to be the theme.

None of the supporting characters are particularly likeable; they're all broken in some way. The joy is in the writing, and the celebration of differences. It's a quick read, but well worth it.”
