Begin, End, Begin: A #LoveOzYA Anthology by Danielle Binks
5.0
4.5/5
A really good collection, thus book really showcases what Australian YA has to offer.
Some stories I liked more than others, but I'm not going to list them because every story had something unique to offer and I enjoyed them all. The theme of 'Begin, End, Begin' is shown clearly in every story.
I think this is a must read for all Australian readers of YA (and although I love many books, I don't call many of them must-reads, as they're not for everyone. So that really shows).
The only thing I'd say is that some stories had rushed endings- the authors are clearly used to writing fleshed-out novels, and having only a short space made it difficult for some of them. For the most part, though, they did really well.
