Everything, Somewhere by David Kummer – Review by Angela Hayes

Everything, Somewhere by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

Everything, Somewhere by David Kummer is a thought-provoking story with some dark themes, in a small-town setting. This story is a bit of a coming of age story- where our characters are transitioning into adulthood and dealing with the dramas that come their way.
This is full of teenage issues that many of our teenagers are experiencing. Sensitive subject matter, such as mental health and suicide, are handled in a very direct, honest, and considerate way.
There are emotive moments, as well as some depressing scenes that tugged at my heart strings and made me ‘feel’. But I think that the characters needed a little more development in order for me to fully connect with them and what they were going through. The story is told from several points of view, which I found distracted from the growth and development of the characters, as well as the overall storyline- giving it a bit of a choppy feel.
As this is my first read from David Kummer, I am interested in reading more of his work to see what else he can do.

Thank you, David Kummer.
