Book Synopsis: Golden boy Ezra Faulkner believes everyone has a tragedy waiting for them—a single encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. His particular tragedy waited until he was primed to lose it all: in one spectacular night, a reckless driver shatters Ezra’s knee, his athletic career, and his social life. No longer a front-runner for Homecoming King, Ezra finds himself at the table of misfits, where he encounters new girl Cassidy Thorpe. Cassidy is unlike anyone Ezra’s ever met, achingly effortless, fiercely intelligent, and determined to bring Ezra along on her endless adventures. But as Ezra dives into his new studies, new friendships, and new love, he learns that some people, like books, are easy to misread. And now he must consider: if one’s singular tragedy has already hit and everything after it has mattered quite a bit, what happens when more misfortune strikes? Robyn Schneider’s The Beginning of Everything is a lyrical, witty, and heart-wrenching novel about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings.
I've been hearing wonderful things about this book since a few months ago when pictures started appearing on Instagram especially about the hype surrounding it.
So, naturally, I went to the library and picked up a copy as soon as I possibly could.
Really, we only have about less than two weeks until summer is officially over - which means that I have to read every single book on my TBR list before then... just kidding, I'm not that insane.
Ezra Faulkner has his own personal belief, tragedy is just waiting in the wings to strike, and it will eventually happen to everyone.
Recently, well, as of this year, I haven't actually liked any of Robyn Schneider's books, but to be fair, I am a tough critic at times. However, I will continue to read the rest of her books. This book was definitely different, different in the best possible way.
Of course, I jumped on the bandwagon and besides the fact that the cover and dust jacket is amazing, it all equates to my opinion that this book is just a great standalone.
Rating: ★★★★★
