The potential was there for a 5-star read and I wanted it to be 5 stars so bad but there were a few things that didn't work well for me. This book started off with a bang!! It hooked me in, it was fast paced, intriguing, and I was getting so excited. This had favorite book of the year potential and then it started to slow down. The middle of the book dragged. I was already invested, and it was still interesting enough to keep reading but it moved so slow. The ending was amazing!! It blew me away and redeemed the slowness of the middle some. This book was 608 pages and if it would have been 408 pages, it would have been 5 stars all the way. The pacing of this one was just off. I also did not like Charlottes character very well, which is more of a personal preference, but she was too vulgar for my liking. The storyline itself was absolutely amazing, the characters are so beautifully developed and intricately woven together. Just that middle part brings it down. The beginning of the book is 5 stars, middle of the book is 3 stars, and ending is 5 stars! If you haven't already read it, go check out We Begin at the End, one of Whitaker's previous books. It was my favorite book that I read in 2022! Whitaker is a talented writer, and I am looking forward to his next book!<br /><br />Thank you, NetGalley, and Crown Publishing for an ARC in return for my honest review. </div> <div id="review-like"> <span class='likeItContainer' id='like_container_review_6209505820'><a id="like_count_review_6209505820" rel="nofollow" href="/rating/voters/6209505820?resource_type=Review"><span class="likesCount">245 likes</span></a> · <a rel="nofollow" class="jsLike like_it gr-button gr-button--small" href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/new?remember=true&return_url=%2Freview%2Fshow%3Fid%3D6209505820">Like</a></span> ∙ <a class="flag smallText greyText" rel="nofollow" title="Flag this review as inappropriate." id="flag_link6209505820" href="/flagged/new?resource_id=6209505820&resource_type=Review&return_url=%2Freview%2Fshow%3Fid%3D6209505820">flag</a> </div> <div id="review-follow"> </div> </div></div><div class="big450BoxBottom"></div></div><br class="clear" /> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> if (typeof window.uet == "function") { window.uet("cf"); } </script> <div class="box stacked" style="padding: 10px 5px; text-align:center"> <div class="mediumText stacked"> Sign into Goodreads to see if any of your friends have read <i>All the Colors of the Dark</i>. </div> <a class="gr-button" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new?remember=true">Sign In »</a> </div> <br/> <div class=" clearFloats bigBox"><div class="h2Container gradientHeaderContainer"><h2 class="brownBackground">Reading Progress</h2></div><div class="bigBoxBody"><div class="bigBoxContent containerWithHeaderContent"> <div class="readingTimeline"> <div class='readingTimeline__row'> <div class='readingTimeline__bullet'></div> <div class='readingTimeline__text'> January 27, 2024 – Shelved as: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/84831721?shelf=to-read">to-read</a>  </div> </div> <div class='readingTimeline__row'> <div class='readingTimeline__bullet'></div> <div class='readingTimeline__text'> January 27, 2024 – Shelved  </div> </div> <div class='readingTimeline__row'> <div class='readingTimeline__bullet'></div> <div class='readingTimeline__text'> March 9, 2024 – Shelved as: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/84831721?shelf=netgalley-tbr">netgalley-tbr</a>  </div> </div> <div class='readingTimeline__row'> <div class='readingTimeline__bullet'></div> <div class='readingTimeline__text'> June 24, 2024 – <span> Started Reading </span>  </div> </div> <div class='readingTimeline__row'> <div class='readingTimeline__bullet'></div> <div class='readingTimeline__text'> June 24, 2024 – Shelved as: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/84831721?shelf=netgalley">netgalley</a>  </div> </div> <div class='readingTimeline__row'> <div class='readingTimeline__bullet'></div> <div class='readingTimeline__text'> June 30, 2024 – <div class='readingTimeline__progressContainer u-inlineBlock'> <div class='readingTimeline__progress' style='width: 33.5px'></div> </div> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/868916070">67.0%</a> <span>"This is a good one!
