All This Time by Tiffani Burnett-Velez

Syrian-American, Lydia Fadoul, has spent a year waiting for her fiance’ to return from war in Iraq, only to discover that he is broken by trauma and the devastating effects of PTSD. Just when he finally agrees to seek help, he takes his own life and leaves behind a story of murder, betrayal, and mystery. In her second, contemporary fiction novel since Budapest, Tiffani Burnett-Velez weaves a fast-paced literary tale about the rumors we believe and the prejudices we create in order to protect our hearts from the truth.



Hey! Here' my review.

All This Time is an emotionally engaging story of Lydia's journey to understand why her fiance took his own life after returning from a deployment to Iraq. It explores lots of difficult topics such as mental health, suicide, murder and racism. 

The type of racism against anyone who appears to be of middle eastern descent described in this novella is prolific. I wish more people could understand that not all Muslims are terrorists and not all people of middle eastern descent are Muslims. There is so much misunderstanding and prejudice about this topic. I hope books like this one can help raise awareness and tolerance in society.

I really connected with Lydia's character as I also work with children on the autism spectrum and my husband is in the military. I enjoyed the writing style, descriptive but not overwritten. 

I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.
