    About this audiobook

    Bestselling author Cynthia Hand delivers a funny, awkward, and altogether honest coming-of-age story about one girl’s attempt to make the most of a summer in paradise—perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han.

    Ada’s life is a mess. She just caught her boyfriend cheating on her after a humiliating attempt at losing her virginity, and she’s had it up to here with her gorgeous older sister’s unsolicited advice.

    But things really hit the fan during a family vacation in Hawaii, where Ada discovers her own mother is having an affair. Apparently, everyone is falling into bed with people they shouldn’t. Everyone except Ada. But when Ada decides she’s going to stop trying and start doing—sex, that is—her best laid plan overlooks an inconvenient truth:

    Feelings, romantic or not, always get in the way.

    Cynthia Hand

    The Lady Janies are made up of New York Times bestselling authors Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, and Jodi Meadows. They first met in 2012, when their publishers sent them on a book tour together, and they hit it off so well they decided to write My Lady Jane so they could go on book tours together all the time. Between the three of them they’ve written more than twenty published novels, a bunch of novellas, a handful of short stories, and a couple of really bad poems. They’re friends. They’re writers. They’re fixing history by rewriting one sad story at a time. Learn more at ladyjanies.com.

      This story was…okay. I wish I could bolster it more but I came away feeling very indifferent as I don’t feel the protagonists development was fully actualised. It was more like “I thought this one thing, turns out I was wrong. But nothing has actually changed.”
      I did like the developing romance but felt the story pivoted around it without allowing it to really impact the characters meaningfully.
    • 4/5
      As her family attends an annual medical conference in Hawaii, Ada is upset over discovering her boyfriend has been cheating on her. To make things worse, she's fighting with her sister, and she thinks her parents' marriage is in trouble. In the meantime, she is trying to figure out what sex is and why it seems so difficult. When she runs into geeky Nick, who she knows from previous conferences, she decides that he is a safe choice for her first time, so they make a plan to meet on the final night of the conference when nobody will miss them. As the time to meet Nick gets closer and she becomes more confused about the anger she feels with her sister and her parents, Ada begins to wonder if maybe she simply isn't ready for such a big step.

      With You All the Way is a fairly realistic view into family dynamics and the insecurities that surround people who in trying not to hurt one another, manage to cause the most pain. Ada seems like a fairly typical teenager with common goals and feelings, but she still displays a very dry sense of humor that makes her likable, even when she isn't making the best choices. In the beginning, Nick fits the stereotype of the nerdy game player, but as the story progresses, he shows himself to be much more than a geek and becomes very easy to like. Overall, this is a good family drama that centers around the teenagers and the issues and self-doubt they often face. 4 1/2 stars.
