Review - Everything She Lost by Alessandra Harris




Publication - January 2018

Book Summary

After suffering a mental breakdown that nearly destroyed her marriage, Nina Taylor works hard to maintain her tenuous hold on sanity and be a good mother to her two young daughters. Despite her best efforts, she questions the possibility of a full recovery. Single mom Deja Johnson struggles to overcome her troubled past and raise her young son. But her friendship with Nina brings more complications. What Deja is hiding could not only destroy relationships, but endanger lives. One traumatic night threatens to shatter Nina’s mind. With Deja’s help, she strives to maintain her mental balance. But as events spiral out of control, the women must find out if Nina is losing her sanity or if someone is plotting against her.


My Review - 3 stars

Most of the time Amazon book recommendations for me are great.  I have been in the mood to read about moms so this caught my attention.  I downloaded and read the first chapter then noticed the author had emailed me for a review.  I was sure this was a sign but unfortunately I thought this book wasn't believable and had one of the worst characters I have read, Deja.

Nina is home with her two daughters and husband recovering from a mental breakdown.  I found the point of the breakdown a continuous 'carrot dangling' moment without the details.  Why did it happen, why does the school treat her differently, was she correct with her thoughts, etc.  We are to believe Nina is an unreliable character but I never fell for it so the story and ending was predictable for me.  Overall, Nina was a lovely character, the grieving part of the story was done well but the journey was painful to read, she was a glimmer in a very sad story.

Deja is the 'best friend' who also only came into their lives while Deja was in the hospital, how naive are we as readers, then she starts an affair with Nina's husband.  I was angry as a woman to be reading about weak, manipulative, deceptive, cheating, lying women, it was a disgrace.  I have realized when I don't relate to a character and have such displeasure about a character, I am unable to enjoy the book.

There were many things missing in the story to help bring it all together and your reading, waiting but it doesn't happen.  Additional editing and better execution of the story was needed.  I give this a 3 because I was able to finish the book without skipping but I did consider not finishing.

Then the wrap up was to fast and ridiculous.  I thought Everything She Lost read like a debut with possible potential. The cover is gorgeous but I can't recommend this one.

  2. I agree that the cover is lovely. Don't like what I hear about the story. I'm never very fond of 'cheating' stories, unless there are consequences in the end. Ah well. On to the next one, right?

  8. Imagine becoming vastly wealthy overnight. Being a winner of a multi-million dollar lottery certainly will be a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyck from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m) in 2017. I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if i told you that i did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Doctor Odunga actually made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Doctor Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR WHATSAPP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for Reading and hope to see you at the top

  10. Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I'm here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza. If you seek for assistance in any aspect of your life, WhatsApp Meduza via: +1 (807) 907-2687 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com

  11. It's an honor to share my testimony with the world. You merit all the accolades that mention you. Lord Meduza has been a gift to me since our meeting online. He is the only one that knows everything about creating spells. I adore him immensely for his kindness, compassion, integrity, and the support he offers to everyone who interacts with him. Without Lord Meduza, I wouldn’t have survived this difficult situation. His magic turned me into a Lottery winner of £177 Million Pounds, transforming my entire life into something beautiful and extraordinary. The numbers he provided for the lottery were transformative, elevating me from grass to grace, and I want to express my eternal gratitude to him. Thank you, sir, for being a source of help to those in need. Anyone who reads this article and requires assistance can reach him via his Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or WhatsApp: +18079072687 as he is unmatched in crafting spells.

  13. It gladdens my heart to be out here to say a word of thank you to Dr Isikolo.  
    I never thought I would be able to see my marriage work again despite the fact that everything had already been working against me, Dr Isikolo came to my rescue. I had a problem in my home which made my husband left and I was already pregnant and it became difficult for me to cope without him in my life. His family supported me all along but no one could help reunite us back except Dr Isikolo who responded at the time I needed help the most. He got the problem fixed and my husband returned back home to me just after 48 hours because he was still living in the same city with me. It quite amazing when you find help where you least thought you can get help. Once again thank you Dr Isikolo for all you do to help people in dire need of assistance. His webpage: https://isikolo-temple.com or WhatsApp text or call directly on +2348133261196

  14. The marital crisis I was going through came to and end when Dr Isikolo got involved. Just like every other couples out there, we had our differences and I ensure I did my best to lead her right, provide for her and my kids and also protected them. We both made sacrifices to ensure we survived the union until she started acting up and deliberately had so many fights with me. The home became unpleasant for everyone else including my children. She was being manipulated by a friend who had been divorced and wanted to also ruin my marriage. I had to contact Dr Isikolo and he responded and did his best to end the issues.  He restored the love and connection between us and I can tell now that whatever illusion my wife was under has been taking away and she is a better woman now. The result of what Dr Isikolo did for me that manifested after two days was what amazed me. I and my household remain grateful.  I appeal to anyone who needs help to fix their relationships and marital problems to contact Dr Isikolo because the solution is sure.

  16. If i had known that there is a possibility of getting my dream man, i would not have wasted my time with a lot of men. I instantly fell deeply in love with my boss right from my first day at work and for over a year, it got deeper. He was very rich, humble and single. I tried all i could to make him look my way but all was in vain. 3 months ago, i found a comment of Ilekhojie and how he helps people navigate feeling and how best to express it. I reached out to him and explain my situation and how much i loved my boss and i also asked him to see further if he likes me. He performed supplications on my behalf, created a pathway for us to express how we feel about each other and within a few days, my boss asked me out on a date and fast forward to today, we are happy in love and he has been the best thing that has happened to me. All these were made possible with help of Ilekhojie. If you are like me, you do not have to let your feelings die when Ilekhojie can help you. Send him a message on his Email gethelp05@gmail.com or Whatsapp +2348147400259

  17. As God would have it, I was able to fix my marriage and I am forever grateful because losing my wife was something I couldn’t bear. All this happened because Dr Isikolo was there to help me fix the problem.  I was separated from my wife because of cheating issues that escalated and she was torn apart and left me and the kids. It was indeed rough for me in the months that went by handling the whole parenting thing alone. I contacted Dr Isikolo and he reconciled us back together and she returned back home to me and the kids.  On my own I was unable to fix it and have her back until Dr Isikolo intervened and for this, I had to also come out here and tell others about his good works. He is assured never to fail you if you are serious about fixing whatever issues you are having with your partner. Review his page for further information on his good works: https://isikolo-temple.com or text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196

  18. You can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr Reethesh. When I met Dr Reethesh, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman at 32 years of age and I have been married for five years. I went to many hospitals and all the doctors I met were telling me that i'll not be able to give birth again. The doctors were telling me that I am affected with Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Uterine Fibroids. They were advising me to go for child adoption. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age. I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr Reethesh. Within a few weeks of contacting Dr Reethesh, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after six months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr Reethesh of my bareness for him to help me. He did the spell for fertility. I took the herbs he sent to me. And after some months of finishing the herbs, I conceived. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a handsome son. Presently, I am a mother of a handsome son and I am happy in my marriage. All thanks to Dr Reethesh and his wonderful work. Contact Dr Reethesh Via WhatsApp: +2349012999010 OR Email: reethesh60@gmail.com

  19. I’m grateful for the positive change I experienced after working with Ilekhojie. My relationship with my ex had completely broken down, and every attempt to reconnect only made things worse. Through Ilekhojie’s guidance, I learned the importance of patience and self-reflection. Over a few days we began talking again, resolved old misunderstandings, and rebuilt the trust we had lost. Today, our relationship is healthier, more respectful and stronger than before. I’m thankful for the support I received throughout the process. While every situation is different and results is always guaranteed, my experience gave me hope and a second chance at rebuilding an important relationship. I sincerely appreciate Ilekhojie’s role in helping reconcile with my ex boyfriend. You can contact him through Whatsapp +2348147400259 or Email: gethelp05@gmail.com
