"The Beginning of Everything" is a novel written by Robyn Schnider, about the ups and downs of Ezra Faulkner's not-so-perfect life. This golden boy thought he had it all: the perfect girlfriend, the homecoming king title, and the title of captain of the tennis team. Little did he know his life would do a complete 360 that night at the house party, celebrating the end to his junior year of high school. It all starts out when Ezra discovers his girlfriend, Charlotte, cheating on him. This obviously crushes Ezra, causing him to storm out of the party, but not before ending things with Charlotte. Ezra soon finds himself in a car wreck right outside of the party.Later in the book, it is Ezra's senior year and he knows it will be different. He no longer feels accepted, for he is no longer the captain of the tennis team; in fact, he is not even on the team because the crash wrecked his knee. It is a very stressful time for Faulkner, as he has only known life as a tennis player, and he can never play again. On the first day of his senior year, Ezra goes out of his way to ignore and avoid his previous group of friends by taking different stairways at school. This plan works only for a few hours, until he encounters his old friends in Spanish class. This conversation is cut short when the new girl, Cassidy Thorpe, walks into the room and immediately grabs Ezra's attention.
