Review of "All That Matters" By: Michelle Congdon





"All That Matters" By: Michelle Congdon Rating☆☆☆☆ 
 We first meet Harper while she is arrested by Nicolas Donahue. A group of her friends rich or famous teenagers threw a beach party on South Beach. She was busy enjoying herself with her twenty year old co-star Cam Pierce. Harper convinces Nicolas to just take her home and not to the station like he is supposed to. She gets into the house and her older brother Hawke is their telling her about the photos, when her mother came up and took them out of his hands. Her family has had enough of her antics and is sending her to Australia to go live with her Aunty Juliana and her Uncle Hugo. She doesn't want to go. When she gets there she sees all of her cousins Madison, Blake and Jackson. Jackson thinks that Harper is just a spoiled rich kid. Harper has a Secret and it haunts her to this day. This is the Second book in the Broken Series. This does deal with sensitive issues. 
 Harper is 18 years old and is an actress and a singer. She is the Daughter of English Rock God Jimmy Joss and American Hollywood Starlet Vivien Gardner. She has a twin sister Quinn who drowned 4 years ago Addicted to pills, in and out of rehab. .Cam Pierce is Harper's co star on Storm and Alec rule the world. Nicolas Donahue is a cop that has saved Harper's life not once but twice. Hawke is Harper's older brother, 24, plays in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins. Sierra is Harper's sister, she is 27 and is in Musical Theatre mean to Harper. Ryder is Harper's oldest brother at 29, he is married and has a 3 year old son Chase. He can act, direct, write and produce. Jackson is Harper's cousin, doesn't want a serious relationship, is an alcoholic, plays football. Jon is Jackson friend and football teammate. Madison is 8 years old, Harper's cousin, Jackson's and Blake's Sister. Blake is 15, Harper's cousin. Juliana is Harper's aunt and she couldn't have kids of her own so she adopted them, Nurse. She is afraid of Vivien. Hugo is Harper's uncle and a doctor. Dina is Jackson's friends with benefits, really mean to Harper. Vivien is Harper's mother and who she calls the Evil Queen. Jimmy is Harper's father and calls her firebird. The characters are really likeable, I liked that both Jackson and Harper have there own demons to fight. I really liked that Harper had a really good relationship with Hawke. 
 I truly loved this book, I felt bad for Harper ever since her sister drowned she has been going down hill. It's a fast paced story that I couldn't put down, I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen. I liked the story line and how all the characters interacted together. I loved the authors style of writing and I most definitely will be reading more of her books in the future. I highly recommend this book. I look forward to reading book three. Michelle Congdon is an amazing author.
