Him having his friends reading his work and me... what if I didn't like it? What if I thought it was rubbish? How do I give a diplomatic review?! I hated the main characters and while usually I have to like characters in this case the story outweighed the horrific characters. But she's soon having second thoughts about the job. The work is okay, even though it's more like busy work that anything else. The other employees seem to be under the impression that she's done something to get this job. And she feels that someone is following her. This book has a premise that sounds very simple, but the story it tells is so beautiful and profound.

Grace is afraid that she may be having a mental breakdown..... she can't sleep, she can't eat, she feels angry all the time, and now she's having hallucinations concerning her sister. Has she inherited the schizophrenia gene, is she just being paranoid ... or is it just anxiety ,,, or something else? I was getting weary of the book about half way through as I started to find it very repetitive. Grace was repeatedly being asked to do unreasonable & unrealistic tasks at work but didn’t feel she could say anything because of her probationary period. The story was well-written and kept the suspense and mystery going all the way through. The twist was something I didn’t see coming, and I love how it was all tied up so nicely, with a lovely ending that means we might get a follow up book. Except that the first two thirds (TWO!!! THIRDS!!!!) is just them finding out that the bookstore is failing, so the plot feels super lopsided and almost deus ex machina-y and lame. A take off of the beloved movie Empire Records, This Is All Your Fault follows three girls over the course of a day as they try to save their bookstore from closing. If you haven't seen the movie, you probably will love the book. For me? It was just okay.

if you like bookstores and the found family trope, this is all your fault is the perfect book for you! Overall, I had a really good time reading this story. I don't think it is anything that will stay with me for a long time but there is also nothing that I actively disliked about it. Grace has her own life with husband Troy and children Mia and Russ. She is offered a highly paid job at a finance firm as a PA and during this time, she begins to question what she sees and what is real or not. She feels anxious which could be down to the numerous cups of coffee she drinks to be able to stay on top of the game but she also has negative thoughts and doubts who she can trust. Off camera, three girls were burying their secrets. Maybe one day they’d dig them up. Maybe they wouldn’t. But the city would guard their memories, regardless. Waiting, until they were ready.” All Your Fault is the debut novel by Mr N J Moss. Remember his name because once you have read this book it will leave you with a feeling of emptiness, and you, like me, will be eagerly waiting for his next manuscript to be published.

I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions reading this, which is fitting because a regular day working at Wild Nights turned into a rollercoaster of events happening one after another. Being someone who struggles with her own mental health, I could totally relate to the anxieties & paranoia that were haunting Grace.And when Rinn had an idea, nothing could stop her, come hell or high water—that much had always been apparent about Rinn Olivera.” I was surprised with the outcome of the book, it wasn’t what I was expecting & again, I was not quite sure how plausible I felt it was. this smart and voice-driven YA novel follows three young women determined to save their indie bookstore" When I realized that this story was actually going to take place over the course of one day and only in this book store, I definitely felt a little bit apprehensive. I thought that it would probably make it hard to get attached to the characters and to really feel invested in their storylines.

In general while I truly didn't feel very attached to these character because of the nature of this story and the short time span, I just genuinely adored the way these characters were portrayed as flawed but willing to learn and grow. Some of these characters are truly unlikeable but it doesn't make them any less enjoyable to read about. Grace lost her little sister to a tragic accident when she was younger & is haunted by this everyday.There is even an appearance by a sleazy male author who shows up to do a book signing, but is ousted as a creep. His assistant quits and she and Jo kind of flirt with each other. Rina and Imogen become friends in the bathroom after Rina freaks out. Then the band of misfit teens band together to throw an event to raise money to save the book store complete with someone saying " Damn the Man! Save Wild Nights" Your broadband speed can vary for the first 10 days after connection as your line adjusts. Use our troubleshooter if you’re experiencing slow speed after this time. It was understanding what sadness was—sometimes more than a feeling—and that it was a thing she could almost taste, could almost touch at times, it was so real.” I say this with as much sincerity as I can muster- I LOVED THIS BOOK. Set over the course of one day, this book didn’t even take that long to win over me. These characters were flawed and perfect. The story was a fun adventure and grounded in hard realities. Yes, I’m speaking in contradictions but it just makes SENSE in the context of this fun, hard-hitting, and wholesome book.
