I STILL don't have this book! My library has none yet but it's "been ordered" for the library (1 copy). I've also had it on hold through Libby/Overdrive since we decided to BR it and it now says I'll have it in about 4 weeks. So I'm frustrated!When I do get it and make my comments, can I still get my extra points for challenges we're working on at that time? I will be in Cabo Sept. 30 - Oct. 10, so if it arrives during that time I wouldn't be able to get it until Oct. 11.
Oh. My. God. I just realized it's on KU. I feel STUPID!!! So disregard the above. LOL
Varsity tennis captain Ezra Faulkner was supposed to be homecoming king, but that was before—before his girlfriend cheated on him, before a car accident shattered his leg, and before he fell in love with unpredictable new girl Cassidy Thorpe.

Funny, smart, and including everything from flash mobs to blanket forts to a poodle who just might be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby, The Beginning of Everything is a refreshing contemporary twist on the classic coming-of-age novel—a heart-wrenching story about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings.
