Hey everyone, I've finished All This Time last night and honestly felt the urge to come here and try to pour out my thoughts. I've begun reading religiously only a couple of months ago but this book for me personally became hands-down one of the most heartfelt stories I've read ever since I started. This story had a genuine heart and soul. For me at least, it did. I thought it navigated, captured and painted grief and trauma in such an exceptionally beautiful manner. It hurt in all the right places. I've found myself to be completely immersed with the words on the page right there with Kyle. It felt like a warm winter blanket.
Moreover, I haven't come across just yet a book so visually stunning as this one. The pond, the cherry tree, the blossom showers, the ducks playing in the grass. That's a a painting right there. I'm not sure why but for me all these elements and how the plot evolved in its first part had such a mystical and meditative feel and vibe to it. I've found it to be so deeply atmospheric, as if something's lurking around but you're not exactly sure what. I can not conclude without mentioning Kyle. He carried loss and pain from every point of view throughout this story on his back so heroically. A story which often felt like too big of a burden for anyone's shoulder. Found him to be such a positive and inspiring role-model. He was such a genuinely beautiful character and truly just great kid. He evolved admirably, and even though he'd think of himself as being selfish sometimes, I thought he really proved multiple time he was the opposite of that. Him not realizing that I believe is part of his charm and an element that makes his character as I've mentioned genuinely great. Felt like he tried and did his best considering the circumstances, everything he did at the end of the day he did with his heart. That says a lot about him. I think we'd all want to find someone in our lives to love us as purely and sincerely as he loves his loved ones. I must mention here Marley as well, Kim, Kyle's mom and last but not least Sam. My word what an amazing, loyal, dedicated and caring friend. He's right there for you and we all should have one like him.
Lastly, even though during some parts I did think the second part was a tad messy or chaotic or as if the story was shifting into a different genre, that heartfelt feel from the beginning remained being carried throughout it. It was a good and tragic twist in its own way. Plus Mikki's author note at the en

Thanks!
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I don’t mean literally invisible but someone who feels invisible or a wallflower. Someone who’s in the background and doesn’t really have much of a life. Maybe a bookworm. Someone who’s a more socially distant.
Kind of like fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, all this time by mikki daughtry and Rachael Lippincott, and kiss quotient by Helen Hoang.
It’s my first time requesting anything on this sub so I’m open to anything. Thanks!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
You take away their little brooms

... keep reading on reddit ➡So recently I read "All this time" by Rachael Lippincott and Mikki Daughtry and I fell in love with it. I was hoping to read a book similar to this one or like a good friends to lovers book. Any suggestions?
