“Our pasts-and our hearts- aligned in such a way that we were meant to heal each other”.

From the moment I saw that Mia Sheridan was releasing a new book, I knew I had to read it. This was the same author that broke my heart and mended it back together with Archer’s Voice and I was prepared to go back on that same crazy whirlwind emotional ride.

“Most of All You” was a story about two broken people who were just trying to survive in their own world but when they meet, they realize that loving someone and being loved can be possible instead of just existing and walking through life like you’re on survival mode. Whenever I read a story, I always crave the high angst part and the expected drama but for this story, it wasn’t necessary because the characters held their own.



Ellie has been through hell and back in her young life. She’s made choices that some of us would judge her for but that’s ok because you know what? At the end of the day, it’s her life and you wouldn’t begin to understand how she’s gotten to that point. With a painted on fake smile, she gets up everyday and do her job even if it means she’s miserable in the process. But when a man approaches her with a unique proposition, Ellie learns that she’s not the only broken person and helping this man could either heal them both, or shatter them completely.

Some people can reflect back on their childhood memories and either smile or feel the emotional pain of what they went through and for sadly for a man like Gabriel, he received the latter. But despite all of the trauma and hurt, he became a well adjusted, lovable human being with the power to make any girl wish he was theirs. There’s just one thing that’s keeping Gabriel from getting everything he’s ever wanted and enlisting the help from a stranger can either be the best or the worst thing possible.



“He needed someone warm and caring. Someone who would nurture him and piece back together the broken parts. Someone who would look in his eyes and be his calming spirit. I was not that girl.”

Two broken hearts.
One life changing decision.

I loved that these characters took their time in getting to know each other and that this was slow paced. I needed to experience Gabriel and Ellie’s journey slowly and watch their relationship grow from friendship to lovers and I can’t tell you how happy that made me. This certainly wasn’t an easy read at times but the ending was worth it. If you’re looking for a sweet, heartfelt romance, then this one is for you.
