The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord

5.0

Oh my goshhhhh. I can't even form words for how beautiful this book is. I'm so glad that I kept reading even though I was iffy about it at the start of reading.

Where to start. Hmm, well I loved all the characters. Paige, Kayleigh, Tessa and Morgan's friendship was so beautiful and realistic and I can completely see 4 friends in high school having such a gorgeous relationship. And then came Ryan and Max and suddenly I fell in love with them so much.

These characters suddenly came to represent people from my own life that I cherish so much. And I'm almost positive that's why I got so attached to each of them.

The plot at the beginning was slow. It really took me a while to get into it and I would have been so sad if I had given up on it. Because the longer I read it, the faster I was turning pages and the more in love with it I became.

As Hazel Grace Lancaster says, "I fell in love the way you fall asleep; slowly and then all at once."

I didn't sob at the end but I got so choked up and was so thrilled with everything wrapped up so neatly with a bow. Like most people who read this book, I predicted the ending long before I got there, but I was so excited that it ended the way I had hoped.

It wasn't so much how it ended. It was how they got to the ending. And I am so so pleased with how they got there. Absolutely loved this book.
