You can read this review and more at Angel Reads. This review is in Part 1 of my Begin, End, Begin: A #LoveOzYA Anthology review!


‘I Can See The Ending’ was an interesting read. It follows protagonist Adam who can see the future, and when he sees the girl he likes, dumping him in the future. Well, things don’t go to plan.

While I would normally love something like this, I didn’t connect with Adam. I am not entirely sure why. I liked the concept of the novel, a lot. It was great actually. But because of the loss of connection with the characters, I wasn’t able to fully immerse myself into the story.

In saying that I still really enjoyed the story, I liked the character interaction and the inner turmoil of Adam. It was great to see a story, where someone can see the future struggle with the outcomes. To decide if things are worth the risk. If it’s okay knowing what is going to happen and what you do with that information.

Overall ‘I Can See The Ending’ was an intriguing read. It explores the notion of seeing the future, learning that everything is not what it seems, family and friends. It explores learning to live your life and not let things stand in your way. ‘I Can See The Ending’  about finding out who you are and letting life take its course.

Another really cute entry from "Begin, End, Begin"! This one is all about Adam, a normal boy who just happens to be psychic. Although the humor fell flat for me a few times, and I didn't really love the supporting characters, I totally loved Adam's voice. Like "One Small Step" and"Competition Entry #349", this story does an excellent job of putting a fantastical twist on a cute contemporary ya romance!
