Despite budding new friendships with other classmates-and a raging crush on a gorgeous boy named Dom-Cleo’s turbulent past with Layla comes back to haunt them both.Īlternating between time lines of Then and Now, When You Were Everything blends past and present into an emotional story about the beauty of self-forgiveness, the promise of new beginnings, and the courage it takes to remain open to love. But pretending Layla doesn’t exist isn’t as easy as Cleo hoped, especially after she’s assigned to be Layla’s tutor. Now, Cleo wants to erase every memory, good or bad, that tethers her to her ex–best friend. Nearly a month since Cleo realized they’ll never be besties again. It’s been twenty-seven days since Cleo and Layla’s friendship imploded. You can’t rewrite the past, but you can always choose to start again. Many thanks to Penguin Random House International #partner and Delacorte Press for the free review copy. I expected a bit more from the book, but it was a really good read nevertheless. )) I finished reading When You Were Everything last night, and I really enjoyed reading it. I was really looking forward to reading her newest book – even though it took me a while to pick it up since the book was published in March. I discovered Ashley Woodfolk last year, and fell in love with her first published novel, The Beauty That Remains. “Somehow I am a girl who makes all the wrong choices, but I am also a girl who aches in every way to be wanted despite my mistakes.
