Superb
I always thought everybody ever been thinking about a serious suicide at least once in their life. Or twice, or thrice, if we get to live long enough.This book is greatly explains what inside of a suicidal minds, and even make me understood mine.I recommend this book for everyone out there: teenagers, parents, or whoever feels that life is unbearable.Yes, it is. Admitting this will lift a little burden.

Perfect for those who love Edgy reads with a mystery/thriller element to the story.
In All The Things We Never Said by Yasmin Rahman we meet three teenage girls Mehreen, Olivia and Cara - each has their reasons for wanting to commit suicide and end their lives. Each of the girls signs up on a website that matches you with others to commit a suicide pact as their philosophy is that it is easier to die with someone and you are more likely to do it together than by yourself. The book starts with these girls meeting and the website Memento Mori gives them tasks throughout the book to prepare them for their final day and it also tells them how they are going to die - by drowning. As the girls though start to spend time together, things start to change as they become happier as they are with ones that understand what they are going through. Soon they decide one by one that maybe life is worth living and they don't want to go through with the suicide pact. However the website Memento Mori isn't going to let them back out that easily and so the site starts to taunt the girls one by one and with the way the girls are being taunted it looks like they very well might succeed with killing at least one of the three. If you love edgy books with a mystery/thriller twist then check out All The Things We Never Said by Yasmin Rahman today.

This Deserves To Win Thousand Upon Thousands Of Awards! Masterpiece!
This is one of the most amazing stories I have ever read!!!I cried about four times and I have never ever cried over a book before but this made me feel every single emotion there is to feel.I love all of the characters since each of them was just so….human.Completely amazing.I have no clue how Yasmin did it but she made me feel everything. The amount of tears and even sobs that this book tore out of me were the sorts you would have when crying over someone you lost a long time ago.I could read this book over and over, and each time I think I would cry.Beautiful beautiful story.

Amazing but triggering
The only negative thing I have to say about this book is it may be triggering to some people as it mentions suicide, mental health, grief, grooming, sexual assault and loneliness. So if these are a sensitive area maybe it would be best to give this book a miss until you are more able to handle it.The positives are endless. I loved the style of writing and how each girl had a different style to fit how they spoke and how their issues were portrayed. I loved that the girls came from very different social and ethnic backgrounds and were very diverse (Cara being disabled and a lesbian and Mehreen being Muslim) I was hooked to finish this and it’s such an original idea. Would recommend to everyone who could deal with these triggering subjects

Totally gripping!
Totally gripping, chilling in places and brilliantly written! The three voices are so different and each is believable. As the girls’ stories are woven together and they (thankfully!) find reasons to live, the reader is introduced to a shadowy sinister force that won't let them go. Don’t be put off by the suicide pact. This is an incredible novel and I literally couldn’t put it down!

Important themes explored throughout!
An easy to follow YA read but a very significant one! The themes explored in this book through the 3 lead characters i feel was so essential especially in today’s time when mental health and it’s awareness clearly still lacks from many forums and doesn’t seem to exist for a lot of cultures. Very well written and kept me engaged right till the end! A definite recommend!
