Thank you to Netgalley and Aria & Aries publishing for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Sisters Victoria and Lulu are involved in a devastating car accident, they wake to lives they barely recognise. Victoria or Vickie as now likes to be called has woken up with amnesia and thinks she is living the perfect life with her Husband James and their two perfect little children, who are now moody teenagers. So much has happened to her family and her self that she can't remember. And she is devastated to know her marriage is over and her children think she doesn't have time for them.

Lulu on the other hand is stuck I a rut, in a relationship with Simon who is boring and condescending and treats her like a pet. You can see from the outset that her heart isn't it in. As the wedding day gets closer she is drinking more and more, and feeling less and less like herself. Both Sisters have things to work out and right wrongs they have caused before they can move on and be happy in their lives.

I really enjoyed this booked, going in I wasn't at all sure what to expect. I thought the amnesia scenario may make the book a little difficult to read but it was actually written in such a way it was refreshing. All the characters are interesting and I was routing for Vickie and James to re-connect as they were obviously still very much in love with each other and their children they just seem to have lost their way after a family tragedy. The sisters relationship is also lovely and is the one they share with their father.

On reading the authors notes and realising why she chose this subject matter the book appealed even more to me. Using her own experiences gave another depth to the book which I had already thoroughly enjoyed. It is the first book I have read by Kendra Smith but it certainly won't be the last.

I could not put this down, it was brilliant. I felt like I was on an emotional roller-coaster. Human life is really complex and the relationship between the sisters, I constantly kept thinking how will they go back from this. I kept putting my sister and I in their shoes and wondering what would happen.

Well written, truly brilliant, highly recommended.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I was drawn to the premise of this book. Sisters involved in a car crash - one loses her memory - they both reevaluate their lives and choices.

For the most part it was enjoyable. I found some of the characters annoying and not well fleshed out.

It was a pretty light read. I did find myself skimming some of the descriptive text and go straight to the dialogue.

If you are looking for a decent read - then give it a look.

Lulu and Vicky are sisters who are both involved in a serious car accident, leaving Vicky with a long term recovery and Lulu with a lot of guilt. What they both realise is that they need to make some serious changes with their lives and rediscover who they really are. I was not sure about this one at first but it really grew on me and I found it hard to put down.

Everything Has Changed is a story of second chances and the opportunity to do things over that most people do not receive. When sisters Victoria and Lulu are in a car accident Lulu mostly escapes injury while Victoria wakes up thinking her twins are ten years old and in reality are 16. She has retrograde amnesia and no memory of the last several years. Her once loving relationship with her husband is on the brink of divorce and she doesn't recognize her life. The accident triggered memories from Lulu's past that force her to confront uncomfortable truths.

I enjoyed this latest novel by Kendra Smith; the characters are well-developed and the different storylines hold interest throughout. Fans of What Alice Forgot will enjoy this one! 3.5 stars.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

I liked the story of this book but the writing wasn't my style. I ended up skimming the last 15% because I wanted to know what happened but was getting tired of it.

Thank you for the ARC Netgalley

I received a digital ARC from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. A new author for me and I really enjoyed this story. A clever idea and well written book. Heartily recommended.

Everything Has Changed by Kendra Smith

Sisters Victoria and Lulu are in a car accident and have to rebuild their lives afterwards. Victoria has lost 6 years of memories and doesn't recognise the person she had become during that time. Lulu is seeking refuge in alcohol and not dealing with her past.

I couldn't put this book down as I was intrigued from the start! I really liked the sisters and wanted to see how they dealt with the aftermath of the accident and the consequences for them and their families and friends. Very highly recommended!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

Compelling and thought-provoking read about the aftermath of a car accident for two sisters, Victoria and Lulu. We follow their stories as Victoria tries to piece together the past six years which have disappeared when she wakes up from the accident.

4.5* makes you think - and evaluate what’s important to you. This book will stay with me due to the themes.

This is the first Kendra Smith book I have read and what a delight. Two sisters, Victoria and Lulu are involved in a life-changing car accident. This book is cleverly written, telling of their family life and how they recover from the accident

Change is a central theme in this compelling novel by Kendra Smith. She has written a story of two sisters and the physical and emotional aftermaths for each of them after being involved in a car accident. Just as the sisters' worlds are different, so are the outcomes and after effects of the wreck.
Smith's writing is poignant, gripping and will keep reader's engaged as they follow the journeys of sisters Lulu and Victoria.

This book certainly grabbed my attention being slightly different with hitting some difficult issues head on. The book is written from two viewpoints, sisters Victoria and Lulu, who are involved in a serious car accident, what follows is a coming to terms with their own pasts and a re-evaluation of their futures. It was also interesting that the personal reasons, given at the end of the book by the author, probably helped her to come terms with her own experiences. Ups and downs, twists and turns as the story slowly unfolds. Compelling.

This is a fun read but with lots of emotions, life is full of twists and turns and so is this book. I am sure you as a reader will enjoy this and I am giving it 5 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for this eARC

What a beautiful, laugh out loud book. I really enjoyed this. It had the perfect balance of humour and seriousness

Gosh a lovely story of two sisters who both had hidden hurts. A car accident brings it all out when one of the loses her memory in the crash and has lost 6 years of her life.. She thinks she is happily married and has 2 cute children. A brilliant read. What happened to the younger sister is so relevant. A perfect ending which I loved

A most enjoyable read. Family, friendship and romance. Lots of twists and turns making this an book it is hard to put down. Would recommend purchasing this.

Two sisters…..
A car crash…
Amnesia…..
Life changing decisions….
Moving on….
Fixing past mistakes….
So many twists and turns with heartwarming moments.
A good read that I read late into the night.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was a great read with a few twists long the way.

On finishing the book I discovered why the author chose to write it, and that gave the story a whole new meaning. Using her own experiences she has created something which I thoroughly enjoyed.

The pace of the story was ideal, we only learn certain things about Victoria’s post as and when the author is ready to reveal them. The characters were all really well written too.

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy.

Victoria and her sister Lulu are involved in a car accident leaving Victoria with amnesia, how can her twins be 16 years old and not ten and what on earth has happened to her marriage.... James is the love of her life but he is divorcing her!

A lovely heartwarming story watching both sisters trying to get their lives back together after the accident, both struggling with what they have turned into.... maybe the accident was a good thing.

Everything has changed tales the story of two sisters, who are very close. Unfortunately they are involved in a car crash that changes both their lives forever.

Victoria is trying to work out how her cute 10 year old's have now changed into moody 16 year old's. Also her marriage is now hanging on a thread but she still believes they are madly in love. Victoria says "life has moved on but I haven't".

On the other hand her sister Lulu appears to have escaped unharmed but she has demons from her past that she has yet to deal with.

Also her current relationship is not in great shape and she wants more in the job front.

They stumble through the next couple of months of their lives together, both up and downs. It switches between the sisters POV and is very fast pasted.

I enjoyed reading their family centred journey.

I found it very interesting that the author had been through an example of trauma, an MRI scan and had experienced the scary world of PTSD. I think this makes the book more credible.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me a digital copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.
