Welcome to Litsy!

A simple, convenient and predictable storyline with barely fleshed out characters and cheesy dialogue which somewhat redeemed itself with its ending. I read the second book in this series directly following this first book which slightly increased the enjoyment. Maybe it would have made for a more solid story if the contents of the two books had been combined. Thankfully, it was a fairly short, fast read. ⭐️⭐️ #reviewathon #netgalley

Aimee‘s fiancé James has gone missing after a boating accident. Everyone is encouraging Aimee to move on, but something tells her James is still out there.

I know I would be just like Aimee, determiner to find the truth, and I loved the ending of this first installment in the trilogy - unpredictable yet realistic! The best type of ending in my opinion!

This was an easy read, had great characters. Aimee was very likable, which always helps!

When I choose to try audiobooks, Kerry Lonsdale's Everything We Keep was at the top of my list, but I've chosen the Italian version this time, and I think the narrator has done a sterling job in delivering Aimee and James' story. This is a novel about love, loss, secrets, and second chances. I was hooked from the first pages, and I loved the author's attention to details while describing fragments' of Aimee memories that introduce the characters.❤

Finished this one up while making dinner tonight! I am excited that this series has three books, because I cannot wait to hear what happens next! There were some unbelievable parts of this book, but overall it was an interesting read with lots of twists. I love that the epilogue answered some questions from earlier in the book, and got you excited for the second one.

Getting some wedding prep in while audiobooking Everything We Keep on Kindle Unlimited. So far I‘m really enjoying this one!

It has been a while since I‘ve had an audiobook walk during my lunch break...started the first few minutes of this one today! 😁🎧

This book was...meh. The plot was interesting enough to keep me going, and it was a quick and easy read. The plot was kind of predictable, though, and the writing was mediocre. I give it 3 out of 5 stars, only because it managed to at least hold my interest. I got book 3 for free on NetGalley, so I will more than likely continue with the series.

This wasn't a book I normally would have picked up but I'm glad I did. It was predictable at times but overall enjoyable. Now I need to pick up the second book to find out what happens!

Could certainly use some of that “custom-blended coffee” the protagonist keeps going on about... ☕️ #coffee #audiobook

Oh my gosh so good! The epilogue sets up the next book up nice too😉

😢😢 I'm not crying. 😢😢 You're crying! 😢😢

Things fall apart.......and life stops

Starting this next on #primereading

So I got four new audiobooks in the 2 for 1 sale yesterday! But now I am not sure which one to read first!

Have you read any of them? What would you recommend?

I finished Everything We Keep for book No. 83 of the year today. Still not sure what I think about this one. Processing, and will likely update my review later. 🙂

Guys, I grabbed the Kindle Unlimited membership from Groupon this morning, and I must have been living under a rock, because I had no idea I could download audiobooks with KU. I‘m in love, and I listened to Everything We Keep during my workout today. #winning

4⭐️. It was supposed to be her wedding day. Instead Aimee was burying her fiancé, the love of her life, her childhood sweetheart. I read this book in one day. I was immediately engaged & engrossed. The storyline was fairly original and it kept my interest.
I was surprised by the ending but really liked it. It was the right ending for this book. More here... https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/159113675119/everything-we-keep-kerry-lonsdal...

I grabbed a copy to the sequel of this book thinking it was the sequel to a totally different book and find that this book had been sitting on my Kindle for ages even though I have no recollection of buying it. I don't think this is something I would usually pick up but it made for a great palette cleanser. The mystery was predictable but I was absorbed. Glad I have the sequel ready to go.

This one was a quick read and held my attention. The sequel "Everything we left behind" is now on my wishlist on thriftbooks.

This was pretty good. My first book by this author. Felt like a mixture of women's fiction and romantic suspense. The first half was a slower build as Aimee deals with her grief and rebuilding her life. The second half picked up with a faster pace, some light-fare suspense, and big twists.

Now that I've gotten to the end, I've decided that the sequel will be my next book. I'm pretty curious about the "what's next" for these characters.

🍭🍭🍭🍭Aimee was a bit of a struggle for me. I did not have the expected connection with her. She was more of a blah character. However, I was completely caught up in the mystery of James‘ disappearance and kudos to the author for several unexpected plot twists and turns. This really kept me reading and enjoying till the very last page! Full review https://reecaspieces.com/2017/07/15/everything-we-keep-by-kerry-lonsdale/

Took a few minutes to myself between jobs today!

A quick read and a nice palate-cleanser.

What started as a "no guilty parties" mystery love triangle ended up with a few twists and flashbacks that revealed just how many shades of grey there can be between people.

I received this book and its sequel from NetGalley. I would read the next book even if I didn't have an ARC. While It wasn't a great book, I liked it enough to want to find out what happens next.

This turn of phrase is getting on my nerves and I'm not quite halfway through the book.

The author is also way too fond of her characters ducking their heads to hide their blushing. 🙄

Started this one last night. The sequel is out today. Thanks to #netgalley for copies of both books!

Meh. I liked this one enough to keep reading until the end but I found it fairly predictable. It was perfect for getting me back into the groove of reading but I will forget the story in a few days. It reminded me of those Lifetime movies.

Hello Littens! I haven't been around much lately. Honestly, I have barely cracked open any books for the last 5 weeks. The little rascal you see here chewing on my Kindle has kept me so busy. That is my newest reading buddy Abby! I have missed everyone on Litsy! I am getting back in the groove of reading. So tell me what you all are reading and what books you are excited about for summer releases? #summerreading #dogsoflitsy

This was a relaxing read with interesting twists. Good mix of romance and mystery. Personally, I was disappointed with the ending, but overall I'd still recommend it.

I loved this book.. Slightly predictable, but the story was well written and a new spin that I didn't mind. I think there's a sequel coming.

What? What just happened?
Of course there's got to be a sequel to this. Interesting ending.

This one started off sad, turned into a mystery (not my favorite genre, but I know a lot of you love a good mystery), had some romance thrown in, and ended with a bang.

3.5/5 stars

I just finished this on audible!!!! Great book I planned on finishing it on the plane tomorrow for vacation but couldn't stop listening!

Finished listening to the audio with this view, and it was perfect to implant me into the Mexican beach scenes. Sometimes I found the main character, Amy, a bit annoying, but overall it was a strong story. Is there a sequel? It seems like there was an opening for one.

I have found the perfect audiobook spot. The view of the ocean and the sound of it in the background is so relaxing. 🌊 #vacationreads #audiobooks

Delay after delay (8 hours of them), we are finally taking off to paradise! Time to close my eyes and be taken away by audiobooks.

I always struggle listening to audiobooks because I tune out easily and prefer to physically read the text, but this one is keeping me focused and interested!

Stayed up waaaay past bedtime to finish Everything We Keep...very good! Now to start A Man Called Ove. 😊

Nice romance with a twisting storyline - mostly believable!

I can't even. The author used every adjective known to man. Maybe the publisher told her to increase her word count?

These are the newest darlings to join my library. ψ(｀∇´)ψ

I love getting books in the mail!!!!! 😻

This was a nice distraction from my typical reading, but mostly predictable. The last few chapters has some unexpected surprises which saved the book from being a Pan.

Trying to take more advantage of my Amazon prime benefits. No cost😀. Five chapters in and enjoying it so far.

A few of mine- Everything We Keep- Kerry Lonsdale, The Marriage Lie- Kimberly Belle, Second Life- S.J Watson, Pretending to Dance- Diane Chamberlain, The First Wife- Erica Spindler

I enjoyed this quick read - twisty and kept me guessing, told through a mix of the present and flashbacks. Although the ending didn't sit well with me, I still recommend it for anyone looking for their next drama/thriller/missing persons story.

A good story, different which kept me wondering how it would end.

Picked this one up randomly on Kindle Unlimited. Opens with Aimee at the church on her wedding day. Only instead of her fiancé standing at the altar, he's in a coffin. Now she's reeling from his sudden death and other losses in her life, unsure of where to go now. And some things aren't adding up for her. I'm definitely going to keep reading!

Did this book make anyone else crave coffee?? :) I love twisty, suspenseful women's fiction. Can't wait to read future releases by my beautiful and talented friend @klonsdale !

I just couldn't really get into this book. It felt rather shallow to me; like there just wasn't a lot of substance to the story or characters, although Lonsdale definitely made an attempt. I listened to this on Audible on a long drive to escape a hurricane, and while I didn't love it (and I had to keep rewinding as my mind wandered), it did help pass the time. A good read if you're looking for something you won't get overly invested in.
