No One Here is Lonely ~ Sarah Everett ☆ Review

Good morning!

This novel took me quite the longest time to read 😅 Not because of it in itself, but you know.. New Horizon launched so I had been mostly playing and pushing reading to only before bed and… *aherm*. 

Keep in mind that this novel includes a death by car crash; although we don’t “see” the event happening, one of our main characters died in one and it’s reffered throughout the story. So if this is something that troubles you, just be mindful of that.

This was the kind of “heavy” book that I love; Which was probably not the best to read before bed as it left my brain spiralling afterward 🙈  Matching with the void that I felt with the lockdown and being without friends, it also didn’t helped my melancholic feeling.

I related alot to the MC’s feeling all throughout the book, of just being left by everyone in her life and even of never being enough just by herself. Lots of quotes just jumped at me as being meaningful for me.

 

I loved Will right away, although the version we kept talking to throughout the novel “isn’t real”; he felt and read just like if he was, even for me as a reader. I also quite loved Oliver aswell, Lacey’s Twin brother – especially as their friendship evolved throughout the story, while Lacey is distancing herself from her ex-best friend. What I loved even more, was the little flashbacks we gets from Eden’s memories with thoses characters; it really helped to get the “expension” of the situation, to see where things began.

 

Some of her decisions might seem dillutional or not making any sense when you think about it; But I can understand her motives, as sometimes things seems so much better in the virtual world rather than in the real world. Of course we know that we can’t live forever within a “dream world”, but things are far less scary when your imagination is the only limit – thus making it far more comfortable and making us wanna stay there.
