All This Time by Mikki Daughtry
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received an eARC courtesy of Simon & Schuster Books for
Young Readers & NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
This book has left me feeling conflicted. Mainly because I'm not sure what genre I would place it in. I get that it is meant to be a contemporary romance, but I just didn't particularly find much romantic about it. I think this definitely has teen appeal-it is certainly a quick read. The characters have parts that are relatable as are the relationships between them.
That being said the relationships are where I'm struggling here. The codependency between Kyle & Kimberly is addressed, but that same level of obsessive codependency between Kyle & Marley is made to seem somehow more acceptable and like it represents the ultimate love story. To me it just seemed rather unhealthy.
For libraries: If you have die-hard fans of Five Feet Apart, this one will do very well in your teen collection.
