So begins Irene's journey from an Upper West Side penthouse to—well, she's not entirely sure where. Irene's investment banker father is "downsized" when his company merges with another. When he can't find work, her family's lifestyle—and her socialite mo...more

This was a really good read. It was fairly short (I plowed through it in a few hours) and written in a way that made it really flow off the page. Like many YA books, this is a coming of age story mixed with a little bit of fish-out of water drama. What I really liked was that it dealt with real issues. At its heart is Irene a young girl whose family lost everything when her father lost his job. With nowhere else to turn they head to her grandfather’s farm upstate.

I kind of love this family. Esp...more

Everything I was is a quiet novel, but a very appropriate one for young teens coming of age today in an economic climate that is very uncertain. Everything I Was centers on Irene, who at the beginning of the novel is forced to leave her posh New York City apartment at the end of her school year. Her father has lost his job, and as a result Irene and her parents will be staying with her grandfather for the summer until the family can get back on their feet and her father can try to find another j...more

Trying to make the best of things, Irene helps her grandfather in his greenhouse and discovers that she really enjoys getting her hands dirty. Her father seems more at ease, too,...more

I'd give this book 3 and half stars if I could, but there were enough things I really liked about it to bump it up instead of down. Thirteen-year-old Irene lives in NYC but is about to have to leave. Her dad lost his job and they can no longer afford their penthouse apartment. She and her parents move in with her grandfather who raises plants in his nursery in upstate NY. Though it sounds like this could be a "poor little rich girl" story, it's much more about Irene figuring out what she wants a...more

Everthing I Was, I sincerely like more than I expected. I identify a lot with Irene, I think it is the fact that I did.

*Sigh* I am still not sure what to make of Everything I Was. I will say this - it was nothing what I was expecting. Based on the brief description of the story, Irene (our main character) must give up her life of NYC luxury after her father loses her job. Her and her family pack it up to live on her grandfather's farm in upstate NY. Based on that synopsis, I was expecting a light, humorous read about how a teen girl goes from stilettos to Crocs.

The book is publicized as a book for middle grade or young adults and yet THIS blogging grandmother was captivated from the beginning pages. EVERYTHING I WAS is an engrossing book centered around the main character, Irene, who is an appealing and sincere thirteen-year-old girl. Drawn from our current unpredictable economic times, Irene feels an unsettling loss of control over everything in her life as her father’s company has downsized and he has suddenly lost his job!

This result is a major life change for Irene and her family as they are forced to sell their penthouse in the city and move to live with Irene’s grandfather in the country. No more posh prep school for Irene or fancy summer vacation. With the summer break starting, it is the one saving grace for Irene as she doesn’t have to admit to her friends what has happened as everyone scatters for their vacations; everyone except Irene who is off to the country to help Grandpa with his farm. With so much loss, her parents are forced to sell their belongings and only a few of Irene’s prized possessions are put in storage in hopes things will change soon as her father looks for a new job. However, Irene’s mother is the one who takes this the hardest. She is a superficial person whose excessiveness has only added to their woes. Her attitude to living with her father-in-law in the country is almost laughable if it wasn’t so selfishly sad.

While Irene’s father spends time looking for work but also enjoying working with his hands as he helps his dad around the farm, her mom spends time in the city looking for an affordable apartment for them to get in by the time the school term begins after summer break. Irene, meanwhile, is supported by her grandfather and as good things oft can happen in this kind of situation, she draws closer to him. She enjoys working with him and his flowers and plants as well as getting to know each other better. Some of the loveliest writing for me is when Corinne describes their work with the flowers. I could smell and feel the dirt that they were working with and celebrated their pride in the end results. Thinking this is enough to help her get through the summer, the sometimes reticent Irene is surprised when she finds the Fox family of stair-step aged children, who turn out to be good friends. Irene even finds the older brother to be special as he becomes her first love interest. Who knew? Instead of merely existing, Irene finds herself thriving in this environment and as time passes, she realizes she hopes they don’t go back to the city.

Irene is a likable character, and it’s easy to believe her story as she grows into a more self-sufficient young lady who finds that her major stumbling block now is her mother. She wants to get Irene back to her expensive prep school even if it means by scholarship but Irene doesn’t want to lie to her friends in the city because frankly, Irene wants to stay in the country and go to the public school. How can Irene do this when her parents think they have found a temporary home in the city and are ready to move back at the end of the summer? What about Irene’s new found friends and her grandfather? Feeling that her father sides with her mother and that means “who cares about Grandpa OR Irene?”, what can Irene do?

It is the final part of EVERYTHING I WAS that is the one thing I didn’t care for because I didn't want the book to end. I wanted to read more about what happened to Irene! My hope is that Corinne Demas has a sequel planned. With the characters so well fleshed out by Corinne, the story moves quickly and smoothly with realism that keeps the reader entranced. As a former middle school reading teacher, I know only too well the self-centered personalities of that age group of students, and this book fits them so well. My former students would all love this book. As much as I taught them about setting and character development, and how a good, tight story line can make a book a hit, they would surely enjoy this one. With that said, the sensitivity with which Corinne Demas handles the characters and a very credible plot, will appeal to adults as well. While allowing her picturesque descriptions and pleasing narration to make you think and feel what is going on is very, very real, EVERYTHING I WAS by Corinne Demas will appeal to all ages, I’m sure, just as much as it did to me.

After reading EVERYTHING I WAS in one sitting, I am left pondering how I felt about this book. Corinne Demas' talent as a writer is unquestionable. She has a way of reeling the reader in from the very first sentence, and with the economic straits that many families are facing today, this premise is one that I think many young readers can relate to.

But, I find that I must emphasize the "young reader" part of that sentence, as this is more middle grade than young adult. By the book cover, I walke...more

But then her father loses his job and they are forced to live in the country with her grandfather until they can get back on their feet. Even though she's devastated by the turn of events, she tries to make the best of her situation and although she misses her friends and her old life, she loves her grandfather and the farm. After awhile she meets the Fox family, who have 5 kids. Two are close to her age, Meg and Jim. Her and Meg immediately become best friends and she has a big crush on Jim. Now that she has made new friends and has adapted to this new life, will she ever want to return to the city?

This book was pretty simplistic. Irene of course is upset that she has to move away from everything she knows, and I'm sure a lot of people (kids and adults alike) can relate to the problems she faced. She really took to life on the farm really well though. She never really complained and she loved working in the greenhouse with her grandfather. I think that's what I liked best about her, she made the best out of the situation and didn't complain and try to make everyone elses lives miserable. Her mom was insufferable; she loved having money and spending it. Even when Leland (Irene's dad) told them that he might possibly lose his job, she refused to hear it and insisted on buying more and more needless things (but maybe as Irene says at one point, her mom does need these things to make herself feel whole). Her attitude definitely makes Leland feel guilty and like less of a provider. The sad thing is that he really likes life on the farm and would probably be immensely happy if they could continue living there, but that was not the life that Irene's mom would want so it would never happen. It pretty much seemed through much of the book that all she cared about was herself, that what Irene and Leland wanted didn't matter at all. I felt bad for Irene because she didn't feel like she could talk to her parents; her mom was too busy mourning her old life and her dad was stressed about not finding a job. Luckily she had her grandfather, and eventually Meg, to confide in. I liked this book, but there wasn't a lot of suspense or conflict to keep me extremely entertained. The ending was nice, although pretty abrupt. This would definitely be a good read for preteens and kids in their early teens; I think a lot of people will be able to sympathize and identify with Irene.

My rating: 3/5 stars(less)

An older girl, who looks like she is going to drown in her own sorrows, sigh. Sounds wonderful, right? I like covers, and this is one case where the cover betrayed me.

Things I liked: There was very little in this that I enjoyed and I think it's being targeted for the wrong audience. I guess what I liked best was the whole concept of this book. As a kid who moved around alot, I can relate to the feelings of displacement and confusion that come along with moves. I was the shy kid, just like Irene, but I feel as though she was almost too passive. I also liked Meg and Jim's entire family. I thought that they were one of the bright shining points of the novel. They brought personality and spunk to an otherwise dreary plot.

Things I didn't like: The entire plot was unmotivated and bland. Irene's parents were hardly explored at all. We get no real interaction between Irene and her parents, unless it's an argument. We know precious little about them - save that her mother is incredibly superficial and a social climber. Even at the end of the novel, there is no redemption for her. Irene's father learns to better understand his daughter, however it almost seems like her mother is happy to have another child out of her life. I was really disappointed by the lack of communication and resolution that the family reached. The story felt very stagnant, moving slowly from one idea to the next. Irene's voice was more like the voice of a 12 year old, as opposed to a teenager - very immature and childish. I was very disappointed. The romance between Jim and Irene also felt very underdeveloped and, to be honest, kind of unmoving. I think a good romance should make you want to move heaven and earth for the couple to end up together, or at least have some tension. There was none. No tension, no love triangle, nothing to make me root for the characters.

My rating: 2 out of 5, I can't even express how much the cover let me down.

2/5 stars

Summary:
Irene is 13 years old and her life is suddenly thrown into radical change. Her father loses his high paying job to downsizing and her mother has spent all of their money. They leave their penthouse apartment in New York to move in with her Grandpa in the country. Irene’s mother is miserable while her father is trying to make the best of things. Irene misses her friends but accepts the changes. She loves the flower farm her Grandpa lives on and loves to work with him in the greenhouse. She meets new friends and develops a crush on Jim. But when it comes time to move back to the city, she isn’t sure she wants to go.

My thoughts:
This is clearly a pre-teen book. I was captured by the cover, which is intriguing, and the cover summary didn’t make it clear that this was about a 13 year old. I was disappointed that it seemed to be about a high school student until you were 3 or 4 chapters in. I am a middle school teacher and I teach 13 and 14 year olds. Irene is like no 13 year old I have ever met. She lets life happen to her without a lot of comment. Her parents decide things for her, which she doesn’t like, but she doesn’t say anything about it. I find this incredible. Every student I have ever had is very vocal about things that affect them personally. I have seen them with their parents and with their friends. If they don’t like it, you know it. Irene wasn’t like that. Her whole personality seemed hollow. A lot of the characters in this book had hollow personalities. I thought the Fox family was very hollow, even the love interest Jim. Irene’s Grandpa was very genuine and I liked him. Her parents were real, even though I really didn’t understand why they were together.

The plot was lacking. The conflict in the story was minimal with an obvious solution, which is how the book ended. There were so many great scenes that could have been but weren’t there. There was one time that there could have been a great conversation between Irene and Jim but we just heard about it after the fact. I was very disappointed by that. It happened a lot. Many chapters ended at a key point only to have the next chapter be the next day or even later with little or no understanding about how the last one ended. It’s too bad because they could have been great scenes.

The ending was weird. It was all of a sudden there. A couple of months of time summarized after the resolution of the book. Again too many scenes were left out that could have made this book much better. Certainly, preteens will enjoy this book but it’s not for readers over the age of 13.
