The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I picked this story up, because I loved Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider. I enjoyed this as well, mostly due to the interesting characters. It's a bittersweet story about a high school golden boy who suffers a tragedy, after which his whole world shifts.

There are some surprises along the way, but the ending felt too abrupt for me. It didn't show the extent of the character growth I had hoped for the whole novel. Still, overall, this is a good story.

Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider

Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Concept: A group of teenagers are sent to a sanatorium/boarding school to try to overcome a mutated strain of tuberculosis that cannot be treated. This move is to both help them grow well and keep them isolated from the rest of the population.

Shortly after failing breakfast and learning there is nothing he could do to ever fail a real class, Lane gets caught up with a rebel group of sick teens and falls for Sadie, despite the fact that neither may ever leave the sanatorium.

I adored this book from start to finish, so I read it in one sitting.
