Everybody Says It's Everything by Xhenet Aliu ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 I liked the idea of this book and even the individual stories - but I found that the overall book was not engaging enough. The characters were one-dimensional, which at times made it difficult to connect with them. There were multiple perspectives and timelines, which I do not think fully worked in this book. The story is about Albanian twins, who were adopted by an Italian woman in a wheelchair. It follows them into adulthood and the very different paths that they take in life. The story switches between the past and current day - explaining why they each made decisions which led them to today;. The book unravels family dynamics, finding your identity, acceptance and multicultural differences. I loved all the themes of the book and I even enjoyed all the stories woven throughout. I just did not love the execution. I think focusing on one character's life experience would have made for a strong story and more dimensional character. Thank you netgalley for my advanced reader copy. LTKFindsUnder50 LTKSeasonal LTKHome
