This was cute! The perfect read for a day of traveling. Andie had so much growth and so much love for the people around her I was so happy to see how she grew into herself. I definitely needed Connor gone earlier bc he was such a LEECH!!!! The found family in this was such a sweet example of girlhood & the importance of having great friends 💕

As someone who is slowly finding her groove with YA books, I have to say -- Emma Lord is it for me. I love her unique ideas, the evolution and maturity her characters experience, and the freshness in her writing style.

"Begin Again" themes of college romance, friends-to-lovers, and coming of age resonated with me as I followed our leading gal Andie's path of self-discovery and growth. With its blend of emotional depth and lighthearted moments, this binge-worthy YA is poised to capture your heart.

Kudos to Lord for completely taking me by surprised with the romantic twist at the end of the book. I never saw this connection coming and I ABSOLUTELY loved how it was handled.
