Roxanne (13 KP) rated We Are All Completely Fine in Books
Nov 14, 2018
<i>I got an ARC of this book through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.</i>
<b>4 Star Rating</b> ____
So many of my Goodreads friends were reading this book and very much enjoying it so I thought I would give it a go too.
I was very pleasantly surprised after I devoured this grim story, I liked it A LOT!
What starts out as a group therapy session turns into something ever so dark and sinister and it was wonderfully executed. I felt for every character within the story and I really didn't want it to end. This leads me on to the only negative that I found which was that it was so short...I was really getting into it when it ended, however, I am very hopeful that there will be a sequel.

Spoiler: Theres a daughter.
I found this book at a car boot (flea market if you're American) on a school trip. It cost me 50p I believe and I would have paid more if I had known this would open up a whole new world for me.
This story is such a wonderful one, it's also believable. A historical romance I would recommend to anyone that loves that kind of book. Once I read The Secret Daughter, I went on to buy and read all of Catherine Kings books unfortunately theres not as many as I wished there were! I've read all her books atleast twice and this one will always have a special place in my heart as it is what made me fall back in love with reading.

I enjoy this era a bit. I kept interest in WWII. I also like the way this book went about differently and how things got complicated between the father and mother of the book. I also like how a romance happened between a white soldier and a black soldier sister. You learn about some of the things going on Civil Rights. You see it though his daughters, their mothers. It really is a good book.

Love it
This is probably my second most used app behind goodreads. I love having access to thousands of ebooks at my fingertips. As a constant reader I like being able to access a book no matter where I am. And if the book i need isn't available, they have a hold option, just like at a standard library. Overall a 10/10, no complaints.

I'm ashamed to say it's been years since I read a Michael Crichton novel, but what a way to jump back in! This book was better than I expected, somehow he managed to keep it interesting even though there wasn't a lot of action happening. The pacing was fast, although I thought the main character could have been a little more developed. All in all, this is a book I would definitely recommend.

Not as good as hoped but ok
This film was centred mostly around the parents who I think were a very strong cast, I had a few laughs during the film but I did expect there to be more comedy. It did border on a chick flick kind of film, with the parent scenes breaking that up. All in all, it was s good film with a great cast but I was a little disappointed.

Where do I start with this book?
To be honest, I nearly didnt make it to the end. It started off quite well but then quickly descended into something ridiculous which had me laughing at its absurdity - the nymphomaniac? Dont even go there!! However, I have been told off for reviewing a book I have not finished before so I persevered. I must admit to heaving a sigh of relief when I had finished and thought it was a pile of rubbish and I was going to write a review straight away but I didnt have time, so have left it a couple of days and I am glad I did because I have had time to digest and reflect on what I have read and have changed my mind.
I think this is a cleverly written book which appears one thing at the start but becomes something completely different by the end and all the bits that seemed preposterous suddenly made sense. I cant say too much as I dont want to give the game away but I will say that this book is not as it seems so I advise anyone who reads it to keep going to the end and then let it sink in for a while.
Thank you to the publisher, Hocus Pocus Publishing Inc and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.
