Before I started reading, I thought The Start of Me and You was going a be a lighthearted fun Young Adult book. It’s actually a emotional and inspiring story with a lot depth.
- I loved Paige and Max together. They became friends but didn’t reveal their feelings for each other even they it was so obvious. Ugh, it’s so good! They are both nerdy and funny. The epilogue of emails at the end was a pleasant surprise.
- Paige, Tessa, Morgan, Kayleigh, Ryan, and Max are such a great group of friends. It was so heartfelt to see how supportive they were of each other. My new favorite book group of characters.
- I liked a lot of quotes from this book, especially at the end of the chapters.
- the focus of the story was Paige truly living a full life, with all it has to offer and the people she loves. Falling in love was a bonus!
- Although I actually haven’t read Emery Lord’s other books, I did recognize an Easter egg from one of them.

I'll be honest I read this book years ago and vaguely remember the plot (so take this with a grain of salt). However, I am mainly basing this review on the rememberbility of it. I love the dark beginning of her grief, it sets up a great plot.

A very charming coming-of-age story. The characters were easy to relate to and getting to watch them not only grow separately but together was a true honor. It's been about 4-5 years since I read this book and I just found out there is a sequel so I will be reading that sometime in the future!

Book had a cute storyline and nice relationship development, though it had a very open ending which is personally a thumbs down from me and only ONE kiss.
