All You Ever Wanted

Product Information

Up until this point, their relationship hadn’t been at its best, but I was so grateful things had improved when Emily needed her the most. It frustrated me as much as Emily that she wasn’t being taken seriously when something goes terribly wrong. She has a bad relationship with her mother, has lost touch with her friends, feels overworked and gets little help from her husband whose time seems to be filled with afternoon and evening meetings. the simple fact that emily hardly even confronted simom about what he did was shocking - i'd be more mad at simon than anna tbh.

From her husband, to her new friend, to her husband’s ex partner, Emily has a lot to balance, and as we regularly enter her thoughts and feelings, it’s clear she isn’t kind to herself about a lot of things in her life. instead a scene where emily confronts simon for being the most pointless character to emily and the readers would be appreciated.She has a challenging relationship with her adoptive mother and has felt increasingly isolated from her old friends since marrying her husband Simon. The back and forth between Emily and Anna really increased the tension as the ending got closer; just as Emily is coming to terms with things and being super accommodating to Anna, we read more about Anna behind the scenes, and I was starting to have a mini panic. All You Ever Wanted is a dark domestic drama that ticks every single box, with an ending that’ll have you thinking for months.

Everyone else is looking at me, the nutcase, the paranoid wife, getting it wrong again, seeing danger and malevolence where there is only kindness and support. I was really really hoping for a twist that I hadn’t already guessed, but it never came so I was left feeling a little underwhelmed. It's always a joy to delve into the latest offering from her and this one really doesn't disappoint.I loved getting to know more about her past, and I was finally able to make that vital connection between Emily and Anna. All You Ever Wanted is a dark domestic drama that ticks every single box, with an ending that’ll have you thinking for months.

I have read everything by Susan Elliot Wright and loved all her books, especially The Flight of Cornelia Blackwood. I just wished Emily’s husband (or anyone) would see things from her point of view, to protect her and to reassure her when things got too much. I really felt for Emily as we learn about her friend situation; ever since she had her daughter, Bonnie, her friends seem to have disappeared, which is why Anna’s presence was a welcome surprise. I have read everything Sue E-W has ever written so I knew what to expect quality-wise and I was so right – but also, she just keeps getting better and better.

Sinister and compelling' My Weekly'An outstanding thriller with an ending we didn't see coming' BellaYou are inside.

Emily visits memories long forgotten, flashbacks from the past which help her to piece together her life, and it’s clear just how draining and shocking all this new information is for her. I think I need about 6 months to recover from everything, and I know I’ll be thinking about this book for an awful long time.

Plus Emily’s husband was seeing someone else when they met and there are those who don’t believe leopards change their spots fuelling her insecurities.I couldn’t fault how the author approached any of the topics in this book; she does so with such depth, such attention to detail that it’s impossible not to feel things so strongly, impossible to not let these things stick in your mind. I read it in one sitting, desperate to know whether what any of the characters told me was true, and gripped as it came to its devastating and unpredictable climax. But what it is is a cracking read from a great storyteller who has real insight into female, male and dark psychology.
