Where It Began
Where It Began | Ann Redisch Stampler
3 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
An accident puts everything into shocking perspective in this darkly funny, “searing portrayal of power, privilege, and betrayal in the hills above Los Angeles” (Publishers Weekly). Gabby lived under the radar until her makeover. Way under. But when she started her senior year as a blonder, better-dressed version of herself, she struck gold: Billy Nash believed she was the flawless girl she was pretending to be. The next eight months with Billy were bliss...Until the night Gabby woke up on the ground next to the remains of his BMW without a single memory of how she got there. And Billy's nowhere to be found. All Gabby wants is to make everything perfect again. But getting her life back isn’t just difficult, it’s impossible. Because nothing is the same, and Gabby's beginning to realize she’s missed more than a few danger signs along the way. It’s time for Gabby to face the truth, even if it means everything changes. Especially if it means everything changes.

I had really high hopes for the book but it disappointed me. I would sit there and try to read it but it would get boring and never seemed to be leading anywhere. I made myself finish it but I almost bailed on it many times. #whereitbegan

I can't. I just can't finish this book. I got 150 pages in and already know the plot twist and can't stand that all Gabby cares about is her stupid boyfriend, Billy. I get it. She is like 16 or 17 and girls are boy crazy, plus her parents really suck. But I just can't continue reading this book. I give up.

Verity Well done for not forcing yourself to carry on when you weren't enjoying it. I find that so hard to do. 8y
That-Bookish-Hiker @Verity usually I can make myself finish it because I need to know what happens but I pretty much had an idea of how this book would turn out. Plus there was no redeeming qualities of the main character. 8y

Mehso-so

Kinda confusing but still a good book!

That-Bookish-Hiker I'm about 150 pages in, is she going to be in this Billy Nash mind set for the whole book? And she totally wasn't driving the car right? 8y
