Christy's Reviews > Begin Again

'Getting a new start doesn't mean you have to wipe the slate clean. Just pick up the pieces. Begin again.

I've read all of Emma Lord's books and I've enjoyed each and every one. Begin Again was no exception. I will say I guessed the twist/conflict in the story early on, but I still found the ending so satisfying. I adored these characters!

Andie Rose is transferring to her dream school in the middle of her freshman year and she couldn't be more excited. She wants to be there for so many reasons, but one is to join her boyfriend Connor. Who she finds out transferred to their community college to be with her. Oye ve. Now she's on her own ready to make a go at the college experience she always wanted.

Andie finds a new friend group, including her roommate Shay, RA Milo, and tutor Val. She also starts helping out with the top secret broadcast her mom founded. Things are hectic but good, until things come crashing down around her.

When I say Andie was relatable... sheesh. The helper, the planner, the organizer. Totally me. I Aside from her, Milo was my favorite in the book. Emma writes great heroes. As this takes place in college it was more NA than YA and it worked for me! This one was great and I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.
