Synopsis

"In this moving audiobook, exceptionally narrated by Frankie Corzo, Lexie can't stop running... The listener can hear the fear, despair, disappointment, and hope that have marked Lexie's life" — AudioFile Magazine

From TE Carter, All We Could Have Been is a powerful and heartbreaking look at the assumptions we make about people and how one person’s actions can affect everyone around them.

Five years ago, Lexie witnessed something that shattered her very core. To cope, she moves from town to town, desperate to hide the darkest of family secrets. In every location, she assumes a new name and flies under the radar as long as she can before anyone figures out who she is—who she’s related to.

Lexie now lives with her aunt, has minimal interaction with her parents, and has no communication with her brother. But the pain is always there.

After starting her newest school, all she wants is to just live life. But how can she when the past keeps threatening to drag her back?

About TE Carter

TE Carter was born in New England and has lived in New England for pretty much her entire life. Throughout her career, she’s done a lot of things, although her passion has always been writing. When she’s not writing, she can generally be found reading classic literature, obsessing over Game of Thrones (she’s one hundred percent Team Lannister), playing Xbox, organizing her comic collection, or binge watching baking competitions. She continues to live in New England with her husband and their two cats. I Stop Somewhere is her first novel.

I miss what we were, but we aren't that anymore, and it's better to get away from the memories of all we could have been. I wanted to love this so much. Carter's I Stop Somewhere hit me so hard last year that I listed it among my favourite books of 2018. This one just didn't come close to affecti......more

Goodreads review by Liz on February 24, 2019

All We Could Have Been is a genuinely absorbing and very emotional novel, with themes of grief and sense of self, looked at from a different and extremely compelling angle.

Goodreads review by Elvina Zafril on May 25, 2019

All We Could Have Been is a very emotional book. It tackles about serious issues. This book is about a girl who live with her grief, shame, and trauma. It's all because the crime that her brother did. I pity Lexie for what she has been through. I hurt so much for her and Marcus. I feel sorry for her......more

Goodreads review by Charlotte on April 11, 2025

It’s been quite a while since I read the authors other work “I Stop Somewhere’ but I’m sure I enjoyed that one a lot more. Lexi moves around every year. She lives with a different relative and moves to a different school hoping no one will discover the truth about her past. The first half we are lef......more

A high school drama that involves all the basic elements such as jealousy, fake rumors, rivalry and a lot of dark secrets. ‘All We Could Have Been’ deals with accepting oneself, grief and a lot of other emotional trouble that is usually quite difficult to deal with during one’s teenage years.
