All We Ever Wanted

______________________________ Could one bad decision tear two families apart? Everyone’s seen the compromising photo of Lyla, a scholarship kid in a prestigious private school. Everyone knows that Nina’s son, expensively prepared for success since childhood, took the photo. And everyone thinks they know who to blame. As events spiral out of control, Nina and Lyla – both outsiders in the elite social circle they inhabit – are drawn together in an unlikely bond of friendship. Because this photograph is forcing them to question who they really are – and who they are becoming. A New York Times bestseller and a mainstay of reading groups across the UK, this is a gripping novel about second chances, dark family secrets and how it’s never too late to be the person you want to be. ______________________________ What Emily's readers are saying: ‘I could not put this book down [...] gorgeously written, and moving’ – real 5-star reader review ‘this truly affected me on so many levels [...] [I] finished this book in one day’ – real 5-star reader review ‘I love Lyla.
