Begin Again

Begin Again is about Andie, who transfers to a new school to be closer to her boyfriend and her mom's legacy. She has a clear vision of what her semester at this school will look like, but from the moment she arrives, things don't exactly go according to plan.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was a heartwarming, light and cute read that also handled complicated emotions with authenticity.
Even though this is a romance, I don't think that that's the main focus of this book. It is a lot more focused on growth, friendship, family and grief.

This book is like a breath of fresh air & a warm hug Emma Lord's writing is so gorgeous, deep & heartfelt.
And I just have to take a moment to say Milo has my heart, from the moment I meet him in this book I was obsessed, he somewhat reminds of Luke from Gilmore Girls , the layers to Milo' character was amazing. I also loved following Andie's journey in finding her worth, identity and place in her school and in life. The topic about grief that is weaves through this story was heartfelt and relatable. Finally the friend group that forms in this book is so wholesome, loving, supportive & vulnerable the way they love each other warms my heart. Y'all should read this book because it's so amazing.

I haven't read this author before and after reading Begin Again, I can see why so many readers love her.

Rom-Coms are a favorite of mine when I need a pick-me-up type read. YA Rom-Coms are newer to me so I wasn't sure what to expect when I snagged this on NetGalley.

I was pleasantly surprised as this was a super easy read to fall in love with It's nerdy, funny, sweet, and of course has some life lessons and growth for our characters along the way.

Definitely recommend this one for any who love the Rom-Com genre, YA or otherwise. I sincerely appreciate Wednesday Books and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
