I am still reading The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Scheider. The main character, Ezra, is getting more and more complex as the story goes on and as he gets to know the new version of himself after his accident. The accident isn’t talked about much in the story, but I predict that more details are going to be uncovered because it seems to relate to multiple characters. Currently, Ezra and Cassidy are spending a lot of time together because they’re a couple, both within the same friend group, so Ezra is also doing a lot of activities with his new friend group. He is progressing on the debate team and overall just learning a lot of new things in general. He is finding a balance between who he is now and who he used to be through interactions with old friends, and socially accepting himself more. I think the author does a good job of keeping the story engaging because it keeps portraying Cassidy as a mysterious, new girl who has a lot going on for her that we don’t know about.
