About the Book:
When Yael Silver's world comes crashing down, she looks to the past for answers and finds solace in surprising places. An unconventional new friendship, a seaside safe space and an unsettling amount of dairy help her to heal, as she wrestles with her demons – and some truly terrible erotic literature.
Funny and tender, Everyone and Everything is about friendship, grief and the deep, frustrating bond between sisters. It asks what makes us who we are and what leads us onto ledges. Perfect for fans of Meg Mason, Nora Ephron and Victoria Hannan, this is an intimate, wry and wise exploration of one woman's journey to the brink and back.

About the Book:
Everyone and Everything is the very definition of my ideal read. Ever since Sorrow and Bliss, 'sad girl' fiction, as I have seen it referred to - also a label I don't really like - has been coming out of the woodwork and I for one, hope it doesn't run its course any time soon, because it has a lot to offer to many readers.
In Everyone and Everything, we spend a year with Yael as she recovers from a major mental health breakdown. The novel is split into twelve chapters, one for each month, and within each chapter we dip into past moments as well as the present, all of which forms a rich tapestry of Yael's life, her family history, and the things, big and small, that have shaped her and also pushed her to the brink.
This novel had me alternately weeping and laughing, sometimes both at the same time. Often sad, and not without its triggers, it was written with such tenderness, honesty, and a great deal of wit and sensibility. Ultimately, it is a story about healing and connection, one of the most life affirming reads I've encountered in a long time.
