Synopsis: The only thing eighteen-year-old Gwen guards more carefully than the truth about her past is her heart. Which is why falling in love with her best friend was never part of the plan. But as their relationship heats up, Gwen thinks she might finally be ready to date again.

Mitch loves his life in River Valley and everything is exactly how he wants it—everything but his relationship with Gwen. The more their attraction grows, the more Gwen closes herself off from him.

When a mid-winter car accident brings Gwen's secrets to the surface, will the boy she loves accept the truth about her past? Or will he look to a future without her?

All The Things We Found is a young adult contemporary romance great for both teens and adults. It is the second in a series of books, each revolving around a different couple living in the same small town.

Continuing this series, we get a continuation of Gwen and Mitch from the first book. For the most part I really enjoyed this book. The characters are cute and developed. The plot is intriguing. And the book was really well written.

However, I do feel that there was a lot, and I mean a lot, of cursing. It’s not that I don’t care about the cursing, but I feel that sometimes it can be excessive. I also felt the underaged drinking was really excessive too and I worry that it could give younger audiences the wrong impression. Other than those two things I felt the pacing was a bit fast for my taste and that the book could have used a bit more world building.

Verdict: A solid, sweet romance for the romantics in your life.
