#Review of Only Everything by @Kieranscott #Published @SimonTeen

High school romance is tough—even for a bona fide love goddess. Can Cupid succeed as a mortal matchmaker?

When Eros (aka Cupid) is expelled from Olympus for defying Zeus after falling in love with Orion, she is banished to what she believes to be hell. We call it New Jersey. If she ever wants to go back to the comforts of her old life, she will have to find love for three couples—without using her powers.

Eros, now calling herself True, immediately identifies her first project in Charlie and believes finding him love will be a piece of cake. Charlie is new at school and eager to break out of his old image of band geek, so it’s lucky for him when he falls in with the right crowd on his first day. But music is still his passion. That is, until he meets Katrina...

Katrina is floundering after the death of her father and takes refuge with a boy who, while not entirely supportive, will be there when she needs him, unlike her mother. Too bad True thinks any girl Charlie talks to is perfect for him. Can she get out of her own way and help Charlie and Katrina connect, or will she be stuck in New Jersey forever?

This book can be summed up for me in the following way. 
It was a very slow start
The middle picked up a little
I started skimming around 40%
I read a little more
Skipped to the end. 

I really wanted to love this book.  I love books about mythology and the goddess of love sounded so great.  I will deff add this to my Second Look list of books and come back to it another time. To give it another try. 

"All opinions are 100% honest and my own."

"Highly original and wonderfully romantic, Only Everything is sure to inspire true love in all those who pick it up." (Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight)

“A fresh and hilarious story with a feisty deity, swoon-worthy drummer boy, and complicated girl that will have you cheering for soul mates. I fell hard for Only Everything. It's true love!” (Elizabeth Eulberg, author of The Lonely Hearts Club)

“Neither god nor mortal will be able to resist the charm and wisdom of True Olympia, Kieran Scott's most captivating character to date. Only Everything is exactly what you're looking for in a hot, summer read.” (Jen Calonita, author of Secrets Of My Hollywood Life)

I stumbled upon this book a month ago and really considered reading it but then the reviews weren't all that great. Now that I've seen your review too, I am relieved I didn't pick it up. It doesn't matter how much I love mythology.

I might give this one a try just because I love mythology. I'll have to look into it some more though, because I really need to read the books I currently own so I can give some away! I have to make room for moving. :/
