"Stunning." --Nic Stone, bestselling author of Dear Martin and Odd One Out
You can't rewrite the past, but you can always choose to start again.
It's been twenty-seven days since Cleo and Layla's friendship imploded.
Nearly a month since Cleo realized they'll never be besties again.
Now Cleo wants to erase every memory, good or bad, that tethers her to her ex-best friend. But pretending Layla doesn't exist isn't as easy as Cleo hoped, especially after she's assigned to be Layla's tutor. Despite budding friendships with other classmates--and a raging crush on a gorgeous boy named Dom--Cleo's turbulent past with Layla comes back to haunt them both.
Alternating between time lines of Then and Now, When You Were Everything blends past and present into an emotional story about the beauty of self-forgiveness, the promise of new beginnings, and the courage it takes to remain open to love.
"Breathtakingly beautiful....Woodfolk has a way of making words sing and burst with light." --Tiffany D. Jackson, award-winning author of Monday's Not Coming and Let Me Hear A Rhyme

It’s 3.5 Stars- because i loved the topic of losing a friend so much & it was portrayed so good & heartbreaking and real & I cried while reading some of Cleo’s and laylas story because it was so relatable. But they were also other parts of the story I wasn’t that interested in and I found myself sometimes skimming pages and wanting the parts I was interested in to become the focus again. But overall it was a very enjoyable read & the characters were all really flawed (which I loved !!) & the topic of grief was handled so good & raw. Also the diversity was amazing & while I found Cleo sometimes annoying and pretentious I also liked that about her & she really did have a good character arc & did some reflection & growing up & also that ending was kinda perfect.
