I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Everything I Have Lost dives into some pretty tough topics throughout the book. Even though they are tough to talk about, it was very interesting to see it all from Julia's point of view. In the beginning, she is about 12 and pretty close to turning 13. All she wants to do is grow up like everyone else around her. She seems to be pretty focused on getting her period whenever she can.. but that's the sort of thing you can't rush. It'll come when it does but she kind of freaks out when it takes forever and ever (in her mind).

While watching Julia grow up and seeing the emotional and physical tolls her family goes through was very eye opening to me. This book didn't really shy away from anything and I really enjoyed that. I probably would've liked to see something from one of her parent's POV's just to get the full picture or how everyone in her family felt.. but I'll be okay with just getting Julia's diary format.

Other than that, this book also had some cute and funny moments. It totally flew by and I'm really glad that I got the chance to dive into this book.
