Seventeen-year-old Veronica Smith has it all: a loving family, a funky car named Jezebel, and a plan to go to college after graduation. On the first day of senior year she meets Dimitri Glenn-a mysterious transfer student with gray eyes and a mischievous smile who seems determined to win her heart. But there’s something odd about Dimitri, leading Veronica to wonder if there’s more to him than … meets the eye. Before long she finds herself in a whirlwind romance that seems too good to be true-until a series of devastating events leaves her questioning everything. It’s not until she chooses to think with her heart instead of her mind that she can rise from the ashes to learn the truth of their connection.

When a series of tragedies hit her she just can’t deal. Her world just collapses. Dimitri refuses to give up on Veronica he will do anything to save her and prove that she’s worthy of his love.
This book shows that love can stand the rest of time. I loved everything about this book I could not put it down. Kim just writes pure magic and this story just pulls you in. The ending had me in tears.
I just need a minute to wipe the tears off my glasses.
Done.
I knew this book would make me cry because Kim Holden is a sadistic bitch. She gets off on other people’s pain and snot. It’s fine, I already forgive her.
I think I love Dimitri Glen. I love that he is devoted, talented, loyal, loving, he loves Paris, he’s tall and skinny – totally my thing. Add Converse and jeans and I am getting ready to fight Ronnie for him. But their love is true love. Perfect love. Enduring love.
Woven into the story are clues. You have to find them. Knowing glances. Passing comments. Little smiles. I didn’t guess. Never expected it.
All Of It is not a sexy steamy read. In my humble opinion, it didn’t need it. What it is though, is a tale of two people who are destined to be together and no matter what shit life throws at them, love will conquer. This is an amazing young adult read.
I make no excuse for the number of quotes that will follow or the fact that I won’t use speech marks. I am the grammar police usually so I allow myself the day off.

“It’s funny how beauty radiates out of some people. It’s at the core of their being and reveals itself bit by bit as you get to know them.”
“It’s at that moment that my life comes into focus, like flipping a switch. The entire world tips back onto its axis. Call it an epiphany; the rare type of realization that changes your life absolutely. I need this man in my life. I need him like air and water. He is part of me – my past and my future.”
“Sadness is pain; it’s something you physically feel in your heart. Depression is something different altogether – it’s destructive.”
“Weakness doesn’t knock. It doesn’t ask to be invited in. It bears down until you surrender.”
“Love can endure all things, I think. Even death.”
“I promise to love you every day…every yesterday, every today, and every tomorrow…forever.”
