A heartwarming original estory that shows that there is life—and yes, even love—after heartbreak.
Things have always gone perfectly for Corrine Brown—until now. She’s separated from her husband of less than three years, and going solo to her baby sister’s wedding in Minnesota. As happy as she is for Ilsa, the weekend is long and lonely, and she’s eager to get back to her life in LA…until she realizes that her life, as she’s known it, is over. Forced to reinvent herself just when she thought was finally settled, Corrine soon learns that sometimes, the most rewarding adventures are the ones that we least expect.
A continuation of the original short e-stories All Is Bright and Love, Accidentally, but told from the point of view of a new character, Beginning Again is a heartfelt take on what happens when one happily ever after fades—and another begins.

Continuing the streak of exemplary short stories, Beginning Again follows another thread in the interconnected lives found throughout the series. This time following Corrine Brown - Love, Accidentally's Ilsa's sister - we see a woman struggle to stay strong and continue to move forward into a new life when all she wants to do is go back to the old one.Beginning on New Year's Eve at her sister's wedding to Griffin, Corrine cannot help but think of where she was just one year before. Then she was happy and married to her husband, Bruce. Now they are divorced, he has gone back to the first wife he never stopped loving and she has to move out of their home and into one all her own. How lonely she feels, even as she knows she has loved ones who are their to support her when she needs them. It just isn't the same, it seems, being all alone when everyone else goes home.
When searching for a new place she chances upon three young men who are looking for a female roommate. They have another woman moving in (Becca, Renee's sister, from These Girls!) and they want to find a second to keep her company. Young, disheveled and full of boundless energy, these "puppy boys" seem almost too much to handle. But won't they also serve to keep her from feeling alone?
Taking a chance and deciding to move in, Corrine soon finds a solid place from which to launch her new life. Even as she takes one step forward and two steps back, her roommates are there to support her - along with Ilsa and Griffin - to allow Corrine the space and experiences she needs to learn that she can be happy again, if she is only willing to keep moving forward into whatever life has waiting for her on the other side of loss.
There is nothing better to me than to find a great new character and to reacquaint myself again with other much loved ones. In Sarah Pekkanen's short story collection you get both! While Beginnng Again mainly follows Corrine, we get peaks into the lives of other characters from the series (such as Elise from All is Bright and Griffin and Ilsa from Love, Accidentally) as well as Becca from the full length novel These Girls. This helps to solidify questions left the last time we saw these characters as well as to see how they twist into the different lives of the various other characters.
Corrine is such an endearing character! Trying desperately to be strong and move on, it is hard to see her falter along her rocky and difficult road to accepting this new life she doesn't really want. Her roommates are delightful and I can only imagine that living with a lively and caring bunch of boys like that would lift anyone spirits! While the ending is definitely open ended and we don't necessarily see Corrine reach her "happy ever after", I have a feeling we will see more of her again. I am excited to see where this short story series goes next (please write more, Ms. Pekkanen!) and which new character thread will become the focus.

Beginning Again An eShort Story edition by Sarah Pekkanen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This story kept me wanting more at the end. A great positive chick lit story with a message most people need to hear and would understand, "Just keep moving." However, at the end of the story I found I wanted more, especially since the other roommate had just been introduced. Sarah could easily turn this short story into a novel because there is just so much more to tell about Corinne. Here's hoping she does so and if so I will be eagerly waiting for it!
In looking at her page it was obvious that there is not much in the way of creativity there -- every book cover is only the back of the girl on the cover and they all pretty much the same look. This whole series is same old, same old.
Sarah Pekkanen will never let you down. I absolutely loved Beginning Again, especially how she's tying in characters from her novels into this short story. The ONLY thing I don't like.. is in fact that it's so short! This was actually longer than her other short stories, but I loved this character and wanted to hear more and I really wish it was a novel! If you haven't read any of Sarah Pekkanen's short stories your missing out and I HIGHLY recommend them!!!!
I thought it was a great story. I was really feeling Corrine, the main character and BOOM! The story ends. It did cover a lot as Corrine was forced to move on with her live, I just wasn't ready for it to end, I was settled down prepared for more. However, as always it is nothing less than a great story written by Sarah Pekkanen.
Though the stories can all be read separately, this was the third in a sort of "series" - all of which I immensely enjoyed ("All is Bright" and "Love Accidentally" are the other two, in order). Sarah Pekkanen is a very talented writer. I really got attached to the characters in the story (especially as they'd appeared in the earlier ones), and found all of the stories very engaging. I'm looking forward to reading more of Ms. Pekkanen's work!
For starters, I didn't care for how this story was written. The writing style seemed much different from the other stories that tied into this one. I had a hard time getting through the story. Also I didn't care much for Corrine's character. I didn't like her in Love Accidentally either.
I did like that the story caught up with Elise. But that was brief. There was still something missing. The only closure I got from these characters, was from Isla.
As I got into the story "Beginning Again", I started to like more. I became a little more invested in Corrine, and even started to like her. I was kinda waiting for something to happens with Bill, or maybe I excepted it. I just felt it was unfinished. I think it is just to be assumed that all works out and Corrine ends up happy.
I stumbled into this short story on and got more than what I paid for ($0.99 only!). It tells the story of Corrine and how she tries to live her life after a divorce. It is such a heart-warming story that tells us a message (albeit cliche as it sounds) that there is always life after a heartbreak. Yes, one needs to move on, but it takes more than a single step to heal and move forward. Sometimes, one needs countless steps or major leaps to get your life back. Other times, those movements lose your track back to the life you wanted, but in the end, it leads you to the life you deserve--and only if you allow it... (Charot! Papa Jack lang ang peg hahaha!) I love the metaphor it presented in the story, and was deeply touched with the ending despite being abrupt. The minor characters were also a joy to read! Worth your penny and time!
