Book Blurb:
“As usual, Andie Rose has a plan: Transfer from community
college to the hyper competitive Blue Ridge State, major in psychology, and
maintain her lifelong goal of becoming an iconic self-help figure despite the
nerves that have recently thrown her for a loop. All it will take is ruthless
organization, hard work, and her trademark unrelenting enthusiasm to pull it
all together.
But the moment Andie arrives, the rest of her plans go off the rails. Her rocky
relationship with her boyfriend Connor only gets more complicated when she
discovers he transferred out of Blue Ridge to her community college. Her
roommate Shay needs a major, and despite Andie’s impressive track record of
being The Fixer, she’s stumped on how to help. And Milo, her coffee-guzzling
grump of an R.A. with seafoam green eyes, is somehow disrupting all her ideas
about love and relationships one sleep-deprived wisecrack at a time.
But sometimes, when all your plans are in rubble at your feet, you find out
what you’re made of. And when Andie starts to find the power of her voice as
the anonymous Squire on the school’s legendary pirate radio station–the same
one her mom founded, years before she passed away–Andie learns that not all the
best laid plans are necessarily the right ones.
Filled with a friend group that feels like family, an empowering journey of
finding your own way, and a Just Kiss Already! romance, Begin Again is
an unforgettable novel of love and starting again.”
My Review:
It has been an absolute joy to get lost in this world
with these relatable, easy-to-root-for characters. As always, I love Emma
Lord's writing style and will gladly read anything and everything she ever
writes.
'Begin Again' is a coming-of-age story in which we follow Andie through Spring
semester of her freshman year at college. She arrives at the school of her
dreams with a boyfriend, a plan, and a ton of determination to make everything
work. This college is where her parents met and where they left their mark, and
Andie is determined to become part of the secret society that her late mother
belonged to. For Andie, it's personal, it's about connecting to her past, and
she has a plan to achieve it all.
Immediately, her careful plans start falling apart. But her roommate Shay
becomes her BFF and their grumpy, coffee-addicted RA helps connect her with a
much-needed Work Study job, and Andie discovers fun and found-family in places
she wasn't expecting.
'Begin Again' is a heartwarming, fun read and it gave me all the feels. Highly
recommended YA Contemporary read. Grab a copy by January 24, 2023!
