Thank you Penguin Random House Audio and Libro FM for the ALC of Everything We Never Had!  All opinions in this review are my own.

This is a powerful story about family and communication.  I loved how the timelines were interwoven so that you could see the effects of certain events on the characters later in life.  It has an important message of you don't know everything the previous generation went through until you talk about it or try to understand them more.
