Everything I Thought I Knew by Shannon Takaoka

 


Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.

Read May/June 2021.

5/5 stars

Chloe has a plan. Cross country running, top grades and a good college. But then she collapses while running, revealing a heart defect that necessitates a transplant.

8 months later Chloe's physical health has improved enough that she's taken up surfing despite no prior interest, but the cute instructor helps! Her mental health however is a little shakier, she's lost her place in the world and she's having strange nightmares and memory flashes she doesn't recognise. What's going on?

I loved this book! It was so well-written and engaging and it really drew me in. I loved Chloe's progression as a character and how she became more accepting and more relaxed as the book went on, that pressure to achieve being alleviated.

The twist near the end was so interesting and so well-written and so heart-breaking and I loved it! The overall story is one of hope and carrying on.
