[Review] Everything About You - Robby Weber

Summary: Milo is determined to have the most magical summer in Paris after winning an apprenticeship at a prestigious fashion house. The plan is simple: work hard, impress the team, and land a permanent job. With his best friend Celeste by his side, nothing will stand in his way of getting what he wants—especially not a boy.

Enter Rhodes Hamilton: London’s resident tabloid magnet and the son of a famous footballer. Milo is devastated to learn that Rhodes’ connections have also landed him an apprenticeship, which means he’s now the competition. Milo knows he has to win at any cost, so he can’t risk getting close to Rhodes, no matter how nice and charming and cute he is . . . (Pub Date: Sep 09 2025)

Life doesn't happen like that but I really wanted to have liked this book more. In fact, I suspect I'll soon forget all my issues with it and hold a better memory of it than what my actual experience was. Despite what I'm saying, it's a nice book.

Milo gets this big chance of some sort of internship in Paris with a job guaranteed in the end because there's only him in that apprenticeship. Until he finds out on his first day that Rhodes, a second apprentice, has been chosen, turning this great learning experience into a less-than-fair competition, for his rival is a nepobaby famous on the Internet and with great contacts.

First issue, it's impossible to like Milo. He's extremely competitive and whiny and self-conceited. Second issue, the book is too wordy, because Milo is too wordy. That kind of character who is passionate for what they're doing is usually endearing and makes us too like the object of that passion even when it's boring. But my difficulty in connecting with Milo's feelings made my eyes roll whenever he expressed his passion and went into details of the backstory for whatever was going on. Without the main character, you'd have to connect to the second lead, right? And wow, for a nepobaby he's so much easier to like. Until you remember Milo isn't wrong, he is privileged and uses that privileged whenever he can. Although Rhodes is hard-working, the features that got him ahead when competing with Milo came from where he was born and not his personal qualities—and he had a million of those over Milo. 

But once you get over the details, the overall of the book is great. The journey Milo must overcome, his issues with his mother, his traumas and anxieties, I love that all. Plus, their romance was cute. Maybe I sometimes wonder what Rhodes could have seen in Milo, but they're super cute together. The book itself also develops well without dragging or stretching too far what is already a unique situation of working for a glamorous brand in Paris. 

This seems to the closing volume of a series, and though you can feel that from some characters that are never properly introduced, I had no problem understanding everything else without even knowing it was part of a series. 

This won't be everyone's cup of tea, so warning for overbearing characters, but if that's not a dealbreaker for you, it is a pleasant and cute romance.
