From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up—Aspiring screenwriter Paige Hancock is determined to redefine herself one year after her boyfriend, Aaron, drowned. Paige creates a checklist of tasks that she intends to accomplish during her junior year to finally shake off the label of "the girl whose boyfriend drowned" in small-town Oakhurst, Indiana. With the support of a solid core of best friends, Paige succeeds in her "plan to become normal again." The crew also helps her recover from the devastating loss of her beloved and supportive grandmother and to cope with her divorced parents dating each other. She also finds a budding romance in an unexpected place—with Max Watson, nerdy cousin of heartthrob Ryan Chase. The positive and healthy relationships in the novel—between Paige and her friends, Paige and her parents, and Paige and Max—provide subtle modeling for young adults, while still remaining believable and not coming off as preachy. In sharp contrast to darker, more issue-driven YA books, this title keeps truer to the problems that most teens face. The protagonist's upbeat attitude will inspire readers to persevere even during the low points in life.—Nicole Knott, Watertown High School, CT

Emery Nails It By Erin (The Hardcover Lover) Emery Lord nails it again with her sophomore novel by blending serious issues with a light feel that will make readers beg for more. The Start of Me and You includes themes of friendship, self-discovery, and healing, and it is perfection at its finest. You need to add this to your TBR lists right now because it's just so emotionally powerful without being too overwhelming. I'd call this book 2015's Feel Good Book of the Year if I had that sort of power, but I don't, so I'm just telling you that it's a "feel-good" kind of book that you won't want to miss.Emery Lord is the author that I wish would have been around when I was in high school. Girls in the 13-18 (and beyond) age range should be reading Emery's books, especially The Start of Me and You because she includes such wonderful and positive friendships, and the friendships in this one are stellar. Personally, I feel like friendships kind of get brushed aside in a lot of contemporary YA novels to focus more on the romance, but Emery makes sure that Paige and her best friends are center stage throughout most of the novel. I loved reading about these four lovely girls (Paige, Tessa, Kayleigh, and Morgan), and I'm sure many teenage girls will be able to relate to them.Ms. Lord also tackles the very difficult subject of grief in this novel, and she does it flawlessly. It's hard to lose anyone when you're at a young age, especially to tragedy because it's just confusing. There are so many highs and lows that come with losing a loved one or a friend, and Lord captures that grief, heartbreak, and confusion and bottles it up in Paige to create a completely realistic character and plot.Yes... there is romance in this novel, and I adored how Emery wrote planned and wrote it in this book. The reader knows something is eventually going to happen, but they don't know when. I was anticipating how things would develop the whole time, and I was completely satisfied when the big moment happened. I had a huge grin on my face, and I couldn't have asked for anything more adorable.What I Loved:☻ Paige's personal history - She's intelligent but she's also very pop-culture savvy (like Lorelai and Rory Gilmore), but she's very aware of her problems and how they might affect the people around her.☻Paige's circle of girlfriends - They are all so different and unique, but they are always there for one another.☻Max Watson - He'll make you swoon, but that's not all he's good for. He's a truly remarkable character, and one that will be hard to forget.☻Cameron - I'm a sucker for books with sister relationships, and Paige and Cameron have a rocky, but still loving (and realistic feeling) relationship.☻Ms. Pepper - I'm an English teacher, so I love it when English teachers are pretty big characters in a book. Ms. Pepper is pretty awesome, and I loved her.☻One surprise reference - Emery alludes to something in her previous book in The Start of Me and You, and I almost melted.☻The pop culture references - The Start of Me and You is full of pop culture references that will make any pop culture or trivia junkie geek out.Would I recommend this book? Absolutely and to any and all fans of contemporary YA! It's just one of those books that all teenage girls should and must read, and I would tell any YA/school librarian to order it and display it immediately! I even tried to pass it off to my sister as soon as I finished reading it so she could experience Emery's wonderful story of finding yourself and beginning again. This book deserves more than just five stars because it's just beautiful.

I only wish I could give this book more than 5 out of 5 stars. Read it if you haven’t yet!The Start of Me and You was my first Emery Lord novel, and I absolutely adored it. It was an instantaneous addition to my favorites list. The writing was fantastic, the characters were realistic and I pretty much wanted to be best friends with all of them. Paige was such a great main character. I felt such a kinship with her throughout the whole novel. I made a ton of updates on Goodreads while reading the book.Paige is a list maker, like me, except her list is way different from any I’ve made. But the list she makes leads her down an unforgettable journey with her old, and new, friends. If I’d had the time, I would have devoured this book within a day. It was that good.Max is the perfect book boyfriend. I absolutely adored every moment we got to see him in the book. Ryan was cute, but nothing compared to Max in my opinion. Paige’s group of best friends were an interesting mix of personalities that really meshed well together. There was a high level of nerdy stuff in this book (Quiz Bowl, nerdy banter, etc.), so that could be one reason why I loved it so much. Honestly, it was a really amazing book, and my heart broke for Paige and all she went through, all she was still going through. And there were so many cool references (Harry Potter, Gilmore Girls, etc.)!A few of my favorite lines: “When it all closes in, there are only two kinds of people: best friends and everyone else.” and “But life is not evens and odds and solving for x. And sadness? Sadness is an equation made of all variables.” and “I had always found comfort between rows and rows of books: some familiar, some foreign, stacks of old friends, and piles of new friends to be found.” and “If you’re lucky, relationships–with family or friends or boyfriends–are limitless. There’s no maximum on how much you can love each other. The problem is, there’s also no limit on how much you can hurt each other.”Final note: SUCH AN AMAZING BOOK! I absolutely adored Paige’s (and Max’s) story. Please read it if you haven’t already. Now I need to go purchase a copy so I can re-read this for years to come!
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Some of the best friendships in YA - EVER! By Michelle@Book Briefs 4.5/5 starsI loved Open Road Summer by Emery Lord so much. (but then again, who didn't? Seriously, that book got such positive feedback it was awesome.) And I am beyond happy to say that she has done it again! All of the reviews that I have been reading for The Start of Me and You have been raving. I loved this book. I just want to hug it and have it with me at all times. Even now that I am done reading it. Emery Lord writes some of the best friendships I have ever read in young adult. I know that is a bold statement, but these are friendships that teens (and everyone) should look up to, and idolize. Paige, Tessa, Morgan, and Kayleigh are so there for one another. They would drop anything in a hot second if they thought one of their friends needed them. And they did. Over and over again. They never got sick of hearing someone complain about the same issue on repeat. They were patient, and understanding. Sure they got into little tiffs, but they always bounced back almost immediately. They were real best friends. I will never get sick of reading about this kind of supportive true friendship. I loved it. Not to mention, on top of that, the romance is great and the story makes you feel all kinds of warm and fuzzies.The Start of Me and You takes place in a small town where one nickname or one incident can haunt you forever. For Paige that incident was when her new boyfriend drowned. Now she is always known as "girl whose boyfriend died" or Kyle's girlfriend, even though their relationship was still in the getting to know you phase. She was forever marked. I really felt for Paige, it was such a tough spot to be in and I applaud Emery Lord for describing the situation so well. There were facets of it that I hadn't even considered, but watching Paige live it took it to a whole different level for me. I love books that have lists, and the Start of Me and You had a list that Paige dubbed her new beginning list. I loved where her list took her. It took her to joining the quizbowl, which hello, I want to join one of those!!I thought The Start of Me and You was a bit predictable in parts, but I enjoyed that about it because the things that I could predict were the things that I wanted to happen. Like the whole situation with her crush Ryan and his Cousin Max. This book is perfect for a feel good read. Case in point, I am still smiling as I sit here writing my review. I liked it even more than Open Road Summer. Emery Lord is on my auto buy list now because she knows how to write romances and more importantly, she knows how to write quality friendships. I can't get enough of her. The Start of Me and You is such a great book that I am already thinking about when I can re-read it. Fans of YA contemporary romance, of great characters and great friendships need to read The Start of Me and You.*Disclaimer- I got a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest thoughts. I wasn't compensated for my review.
