I had high hopes for 'Everything She Touched' but found some parts dragging a bit. The plot had its moments, but I felt like the pacing was off. Still, the characters were well-developed, and I liked the overall theme.

Not my favorite read
I wanted to love 'Everything She Touched', but it just didn't resonate with me. The plot felt predictable and I couldn't get into it. I'm sure others might find it more compelling, but it wasn't for me.

Beautifully written but slow
The prose in 'Everything She Touched' is lovely, but I thought it took too long to get to the point. I appreciate the depth, but some scenes felt unnecessary. If you like character-driven stories, you might enjoy it more than I did.
