You Me Everything by Catherine Isaac

3.0

The only aspects of the book I enjoyed was all the things we learned as readers about Huntington’s disease; the struggles of seeing people you love living with it and the constant fear of knowing what you’ll be facing if you carry the gene.

But I disliked Jess so much! She was mean to Charlie, unfair towards Adam for not telling him sooner about the disease, and didn’t behave the best way around William as she didn’t put his feelings and needs first in some occasions. I understood her hesitation towards Adam as her future seemed more uncertain than most and also empathized with her when she had to have the conversation with William, but other than that I found her very shallow as a character. Adam isn’t super likable either and I hate that the author decided to portray him as the misunderstood guy at the end when we have a bunch of encounters where he’s been plain awful and immature.

It’s a fast read so that’s a plus!
