Full review at The Ultimate Fangirl. 
 Here's why you need to read this lovely book: 
 1. It may sound cliche, but it's not. 
 Girl in a small town rediscovers herself with the help of the people from her past. That's the general storyline. But the main point here is that it does not stop there. When things started to get a bit weird, I buckled myself in. I expected that there will be paranormal elements, since Addie is seeing things from her past that no one else can see. Yet it is so much more than that. What I can say without spoiling you guys is that it does not dive deep into the paranormal aspect as the story stays true to its form in the entire book. If less means more, then Everyone We've Been shines in that aspect. It delivered a poignant story that made the main character shine, and it succeeded that way. 
 2. Addie is wonderful lead to follow. 
 It is very comforting when we get a lead whose voice is easy to understand. She is equally relatable as well, and I find her charming and unique. Addie has this sweet and innocent voice, and it adds up to the build up of the story. Chapter by chapter, her voice intensifies, leading up to the point where the story takes its stand. She blossoms into this amazing girl who is one with her music. 
 3. It is all about support. 
 Last but not the least, it is not always smiles and sunshine when it comes to the family notion behind this story. Yet, it becomes a key to the story that puts pieces together. 
 Addie has a wonderful family that was pulled apart by a divorce. It was not an easy decision, and bit by bit, we see it unfold in the story. Developing the bond of this family is no easy task, and I admire the author for helping the character find herself through the people that she loves. 
 This book is refreshing on its own, and I love how different it is despite being cornered as a book that seem to be like other ones. It's not really, and all you have to do is to pick this wonderful book up and see for yourself. Go on a journey with Addie, and you may find yourself as well.
