(Summary from Goodreads). Brimming with heartfelt relationships and authentic high-school dynamics The Start of Me and You proves that it’s never too late for second chances.
It’s been a year since it happened—when Paige Hancock’s first boyfriend died in an accident. After shutting out the world for two years, Paige is finally ready for a second chance at high school . . . and she has a plan. First: Get her old crush, Ryan Chase, to date her—the perfect way to convince everyone she’s back to normal. Next: Join a club—simple, it’s high school after all. But when Ryan’s sweet, nerdy cousin, Max, moves to town and recruits Paige for the Quiz Bowl team (of all things!) her perfect plan is thrown for a serious loop. Will Paige be able to face her fears and finally open herself up to the life she was meant to live?
I was VERY excited to read Emery's latest book. I loved Open Road Summer so much. I really loved this story the same (it reminded me of Jessi Kirby's Things We Know By Heart). Paige had a boyfriend pass away unexpectedly. She had a rough time getting over something so tragic. She wasn't dating him for long, but his death had an impact on her life. His death made more of an impact because of the way that he passed.
Paige is finally starting to live her life when she meets Max. Just being around him helps her to forget about what happened with her late boyfriend. Max is literally my dream guy. He is so nerdy, sarcastic, and watches TV/reads. It is a dream. Haha. I really loved getting to know Max.
I love that Emery's books focus on friendship. Realizing who your true friends are is an important part of growing up.
I would *REALLY* love a story about Ryan and Tessa. Just saying. :)
Five out of five stars.
