Thank you to the author for my gifted eBook. All opinions are my own. 

It All Comes Back to You by Melissa Wiesner is a story filled with overcoming obstacles, friendship, found family, and a lot of hard topics. 

This book filled me with so many different emotions because I could really connect with the characters; their emotions became my emotions. I think that is something this author excels at is getting you to feel for her characters. 

One of my favorite aspects of this story was the timeline. I got to know the characters so well because I got to see them experience life throughout the years. Not only did I get to experience milestones, but I also was able to see how the main character grew in her relationships with the other characters in the story. 

While this book discusses some difficult topics such as abuse and abandonment, I did not find the story to be overall depressing. 

Another part of the story that I appreciated was that the romance was natural and not inappropriate in any way considering the ages in which the main characters first meet. They really built a friendship and connection before ever acting on any romantic feelings. There were a few times I was frustrated with them for waiting so long, but ultimately, I really liked the romance. 

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who loves romances or contemporary fiction that pulls on your heartstrings. If you want a book that will make you feel something meaningful, then definitely check this one out!
