Fans of classics like The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye, works by John Green and Ned Vizzini, and clever and heartbreaking adolescent fiction like Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything will definitely like this book.
Ezra Faulkner, the captain of the varsity tennis team, was meant to be homecoming king, but that was back in the day, before his leg was broken in an automobile accident, before he fell in love with Cassidy Thorpe, the erratic new girl.
In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews said that Schneider "takes well-known stereotypes and infuses them with plenty of depth." These teenagers are capable of exchanging jabs and double entendres with the characters in John Green's books with ease."
A poignant tale of how hard it is to play the role that people expect of you and how new beginnings can come from abrupt and tragic endings, The Beginning of Everything is a hilarious and clever take on the classic coming-of-age novel. It features everything from flash mobs to blanket forts to a poodle that might be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby.
