Everything, Somewhere by David Kummer – Review by Ashley Dover

Everything, Somewhere by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Little Rush, Ohio
A small city on the Ohio River, Little Rush, has seen better days. Sitting on the banks of the Ohio River near the Kentucky border, Little Rush has a small town appeal.

Hayden, Mason, and Willow
These three are the best of friends. Yet, their lives are so different. Hayden lives down the country road on a farm with his dad who works at the local power plant and farms after work. Mason’s dad is one of the most financially well-off men in Little Rush. He owes the local pizza joint among other businesses in Little Rush. Willow’s parents are divorced. Her dad lives near downtown in a small run-down apartment while her mom lives on the hilltop with Willow’s little brother.

It’s the summer before senior year trying to enjoy the last few moments before having to face the realities of life after high school. All three teenagers struggle with choices. Problems arise, a former Hollywood star moves to town with secrets of his own, and tensions arise between the couple and Hayden as changes in the relationship cause friction between the three friends. How will these three make it through the summer and prepare for life after high school?

I liked this book. It contains very realistic experiences that challenge these teenagers and their parents. It’s a longer book, but stick with it and enjoy the story.
