All This Time is an emotional rollercoaster about losing yourself in your relationships, losing those you love, and finding yourself and the life you want to live.

Kyle dated Kimberly all through middle school and high school, but on the night of their graduation party, Kimberly decides to break up with Kyle, for real this time. She doesn't know who she is outside of the context of Kyle's girlfriend. She wants to experience more of the world and know what it's like to stand on her own.

But Kimberly doesn't get that opportunity. She and Kyle are in a car accident the night of the party. Kyle escapes with a broken femur and a head injury. Kimberly dies. Suddenly it's Kyle who has to figure out who he is outside of his familiar context. He doesn't want to, but now it's him who has to experience more of the world and know what it's like to stand alone.

Up until this point in the book, I found the story very easy to follow and believe. But after this point, things start to feel more glossy, more generalized. Characters were not as well developed and I sometimes found myself skimming. Even the relationships between Kyle and his best friend and his new friend Marley were lacking something.

But stick with it through that part because it will make so much sense.

I didn't care for the last ten pages or so of the book, because there's no moral lesson to be learned through illness or injury that can't be learned without them - so I really dislike it when an author overuses these tropes to bring about an epiphany. The final lesson learned could have been made and stated in a way that wasn't as gimmicky and that would have made it so much more profound.

Still, I'd only subtract half a star for those last few pages, so I went with an overall five star rating. This is a great book, especially for those who are rapped up in their romantic relationship or are serial monogamists and need to learn who they are without someone else.
