A Novel (Everything, Book 2)

De: Kerry Lonsdale

Narrado por: Timothy Andrés Pabon

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everything We Keep comes the highly anticipated sequel. Told from one man's two perspectives, Everything We Left Behind effortlessly blends suspense, mystery, and romance in an exploration of loss, resilience, and the compelling need to protect the ones we love at all cost.

Two months before his wedding, financial executive James Donato chased his trade-laundering brother Phil to Mexico, only to be lost at sea and presumed dead. Six and a half years later, he emerges from a dissociative fugue state to find he's been living in Oaxaca as artist Carlos Dominguez, widower and father of two sons, with his sister-in-law Natalya Hayes, a retired professional surfer, helping to keep his life afloat. But his fiancée, Aimee Tierney, the love of his life, has moved on. She's married and has a child of her own.

Devastated, James and his sons return to California. But Phil is scheduled for release from prison, and he's determined to find James, who witnessed something in Mexico that could land Phil back in confinement. Under mounting family pressure, James flees with his sons to Kauai, seeking refuge with Natalya. As James begins to unravel the mystery of his fractured identity, danger is never far behind, and Natalya may be the only person he can trust.

Wrapped up

This does wrap up the story but I missed many of the characters from the 1st book. I also feel like the ending was rushed.

I am hooked!

I thought the second book was not going to be as good as the first one but I was wrong. I loved hearing the story from James / Carlos perspective.

Good story, but Accent not consistent

Liked this story and the prequel. My only complaint is that the accent of the narrator
was Inconsistent. He used the “ Carlos accent” on my opinion at the wrong times. He used it for people who didn’t need it and didn’t use it fir Carlos. It was confusing at times.
This was not enough of an issue to prevent enjoying the book overall.

Made me stay up all night

I usually prefer female narrator, usually preferring a female POV, however this second book in series, following James was extremely well done. I did a lot of crying and heart warming over the last 24 hrs. Great read and listen.

Great sequel to the first book!

Hearing the story continue from Carlos'/James' point of view was both clever and fascinating! I thought I'd miss Aimee and Ian too much, but the richness of the story and its characters did NOT leave me disappointed.

The multiple arch plots and mini-plots weave an intriguing, exciting story that makes this book a page-turner and left me wanting more!
