Rounded down from roughly 4.5 stars ⭐️ I enjoyed the first book about Evie (The Miseducation of Evie Epworth) but this one hit a whole new level for me!

All About Evie is set 10 years after the events of the first book. Evie’s life is turned upside down when a very unfortunate accident happens involved Princess Margaret. But is this a tragedy or the chance to start a new life?

I am a similar age to Evie in this book, and have recently been feeling some very similar things. Questioning my own path and comparing myself to other people my age. I found Evie so incredibly relatable and this book really helped to ease my personal doubts. The same wonderful characters from the first book make appearances in this one, alongside some wonderfully quirky new friends. Matson Taylor is able to wonderfully craft characters that are so vivid that my mind struggles to realise they are fictional.

Although this book does work as a stand alone, I would recommend reading the first book because it adds an extra depth that would be lacking otherwise. The emotional connection you gain by returning to these characters warmed my heart. On multiple occasions I had to stop reading whilst I blinked back the tears. I also found myself smiling along with the characters many times too. This was such a charming read, but incredibly moving and poignant for me too. I absolutely want to see more of Evie in the future!!!

I recommend these books to any fans of light and easy reads with a coming of age vibe. I want to thank Tandem Collective, Scribner and Matson Taylor for sending me a copy of this book so I can give my personal thoughts.
