Hello reader ! Welcome to my first book review on this blog.
This book is the author's (Robyn Schneider) best known book but I think I will read her other book named Better Than Yesterday mostly because I loved her way of writing and expressing emotions and ideas of teenagers'.I literally fell in love with her instagram account (http://instagram.com/robynschneider ) Her life is just so full of colour !
She is one of those authors who can successfully get into the reader's head and give them an idea rather than a story and for me this book's idea was "MOVE ON".I am just starting to recover from a university exam so I might have considered it even if it wasn't.
The book starts with author's note to her parents which made me giggle a bit , I think it was a really sweet gesture.
The title of the book The Beginning of Everything suggest an event which will cause everything the character to change , it suits the story very well to me and the cover has a roller coaster drawing which refers to the accident the main character and his best friend had when they were younger.I think this accident is the funniest part of the book because while I was reading it I told it to my friends and each of them laughed even though they didn't know the book.

The story's main character Ezra is typical high school student who does sports and is in the "popular" group of students.Ezra's idea of "something bad and life changing thing will happen to everyone once in their life" is the start point of the story.
“Sometimes I think that everyone has a tragedy waiting for them, that the people buying milk in their pajamas or picking their noses at stoplights could be only moments away from disaster. That everyone's life, no matter how unremarkable, has a moment when it will become extraordinary - a single encounter after which everything that really matters will happen.”
Through the book we see his struggle to adjust to new things and friends as well as his physical recovery from the bad accident happened to him.Besides Ezra there are two major characters in the story his old/new best friend Toby Ellicott and the new hipster girl in school Cassidy Thorpe.If you watch Teen Wolf you will definitely think how similar Toby and Stiles are so I liked him immediately but when Cassidy was included to the story I was a bit disappointed because I thought this book would turn into a cheesy young-adult book.Classic used-to-be-popular boy falling in love with new-weird-but-beautiful girl.But the story had much more than this love interest in it and the end was unexpected but good.
QUOTES
I really like reading quotes before reading the book so I can try to guess who will say them,maybe you can do the same too.“You have this maddening little smile sometimes, like you've just thought of something incredibly witty but are afraid to say it in case no one gets the joke.”
“Still here, Faulkner?" He sneered.
"Still doing that terrible impression of Draco Malfoy?" I asked.”
In the end it was a 4 star book for me I hope you enjoyed this review !
