This was a great read! This is a fast paced story about, family, friendship, love, and the lengths we will go to in order to protect the ones we care about most regardless of the consequences. The only negative thing I can say about this book is that my "Trilodar (the ability to tell that a book is ...

This is the story of Anya Balanchine, daughter of a Leonyd Balanchine, deceased chocolate mafia crime boss. The story is told in first person, as if were writing it down for us. For example, there are some instances where she even does an aside, or a note to self. She is writing us the story about a...

This author first caught my attention with the book Elsewhere. The care she took with the characters in Elsewhere convinced me to seek out future novels. I’m so glad that All These Things I’ve Done has proven me right in doing so.Set in the late 21st century, this book takes place largely in a bro...

This was an interesting and thought-provoking dystopia with a very well-drawn main character. Anya is the daughter of a chocolate mafioso. You see, chocolate and caffeine have been banned in the US in this future world. She was present, along with her younger sister, when her father was gunned down ...

3.5 stars (Looks at back of book. Reads “2082”. Looks at Goodreads synopsis. Reads “2083”. Is confused.)New York, 2083. Chocolate and coffee are illegal. Curfews are enforced. Water is a precious commodity. And Anya Balanchine, orphaned daughter of a prominent criminal underworld figure, is arrested...

There aren’t many novels set in the future that read as a contemporary; as if your reading the present. All These Things I’ve Done by Gabrielle Evans achieves this and at no time did I contemplate if the dystopia (or, rather utopia?) world such as the one that Gabrielle had imagined, would or would ...
