Book Recommendation: The Beginning of Everything (Robyn Schneider)

An easy read with an engaging, sensitive, and relatable male main character, this book also leaves behind a great lesson. I especially recommend this book for teens and young adults. The main theme of this book is claiming your true identity and not letting others determine it for you.

Summary: After a tragedy leads him to ditch his 'loser' best friend, Ezra grows to become the most popular kid in his preppy, rich high school, seemingly without even trying. But when Ezra is hit with his own personal tragedy (a car accident), he doesn't fit in with his tennis team, popular crowd, and needs to find a new identity and a new group of friends.

Takeaway: Though the summary and concept for this book may sound cliché and obvious, it is played out cleverly with a twist ending that will leave you with something to think about. I enjoy easy reads as an occasional, much-needed break from school work, and this book definitely provided the escape, and left me reeling at the ending.
