Editoral Review
All for This, the 3rd book in the Here and Now series by Lexi Ryan, is a romance novel that explores the intricate place where love and forgiveness meet. Published on August 2, 2014, the book follows the life of Hanna, a girl who has just lost her mother and who is struggling to come to terms with the death of her abusive father.
As with the previous books in the series, Ryan’s writing style is engaging and fast-paced, but what sets All for This apart is its focus on the emotional journey of its characters. This novel is less about the drama that unfolds between the characters, and more about how they navigate the ups and downs of life and love.
The novel opens with Hanna trying to deal with her grief after the loss of her mother. As she tries to pick up the pieces of her life, she finds herself drawn to Will, a man whom she initially didn’t think was right for her.
However, as they spend more time together, Hanna realizes that she has some major decisions to make about her future. One of the things that sets All for This apart from other romance novels is the way in which it deftly explores the theme of forgiveness.
Throughout the book, the characters are forced to confront their pasts, both individually and as a group. This creates a rich tapestry of backstory that makes the story feel more layered and interesting.
Ryan also does an excellent job of highlighting the complex relationships between the characters. There are no one-dimensional characters in this book; each one is nuanced and complex, with their own unique motivations and desires.
This adds to the realism of the story, and makes it easier for readers to become invested in the characters’ lives. While All for This is a great read, there are a few minor issues with the book that shouldn’t go unmentioned.
For one, there are a few plot arcs that feel rushed, and some characters could have used more development. Additionally, while Ryan’s writing style is engaging and fast-paced, there are a few sections that drag, particularly towards the end of the novel.
Despite these minor flaws, All for This is an excellent book that will appeal to fans of romance novels. Its thoughtful exploration of the theme of forgiveness, alongside its engaging characters and fast-paced plot, make it a must-read book for anyone who loves a good story.
In conclusion, All for This is a beautifully crafted novel that raises important questions about life, love, and forgiveness. Its richly drawn characters, engaging plot, and thought-provoking themes make it a standout entry in the genre.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great read. 4.5/5
