Goodreads review by maddison on February 19, 2022

This did not turn out the way I had hoped. I'm not sure how Laine and her husband have managed to stay married for so long since there is no feeling or connection between them at all. I'm not going to lie, Laine seemed a little dry to me. It was quite easy for me to become bored. *thank you to netgal......more

Quotes

“Brought vividly to life in a true 'theatre of the mind' experience by the narrative talents of Amy McFadden and Laural Merlington, Everything Must Go is author Camille Pagan's warm, wry, and original novel about secrets, second chances, and the unbreakable bonds between mothers, daughters, and sisters.” —Midwest Book Review“The dual narrations—Laine's and her mother's—are key to the story. McFadden expresses Laine's emotions perfectly in every situation, while Merlington plays the part of a mother who is not so sure that her mind is working properly. Both carry the tone of the story from lighthearted to serious and contemplative with expert grace.” —Booklist“I will not miss a Camille Pagán novel and this is why: the most relatable women between two covers, the most interesting situations, the most satisfyingly emotional outcomes. Everything Must Go has all of that, with a compassionate woman facing the crossroads between two futures, two men, and two cities—and navigating the nuances of her two beautiful, successful, and overbearing sisters all the while. The family secrets keep unfolding and the pages fly by in this moving, bighearted read!” —Kelly Harms, bestselling author of The Seven Day Switch
