Description
Every love story has a beginning.
But the ending is yet to be written...'Elijah is gripped by a vertiginous feeling, a short shock of realisation of how much he wants this to be the start of something, just as he reaches a precipice that reveals it might be the end...'The Start of Something follows the lives of ten interlocking characters, as their lives collide unexpectedly and often romantically - from thrilling first meetings and touching moments, to long-held loves or abuses of power - that explore what true intimacy and love might look like in today's world.A razor-sharp, intoxicating and thought-provoking novel that will appeal to fans of Expectation by Anna Hope, Normal People by Sally Rooney, Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan and Amazon Prime's Modern Love.Praise for Holly Williams: 'It's the new One Day' FABULOUS 'Delightful, insightful and immersive' KATE EBERLEN 'Invigorating [and] fascinating' GUARDIAN 'Holly's beautiful prose smoulders, crackles and roars' DAISY BUCHANAN 'An unforgettable story with writing that sparkles: a gem of a read' HOLLY MILLER 'A stunning, skilful, deftly drawn, cockle-warmer of a novel. Prose so good I couldn't stop underlining' LAUREN BRAVO 'A wonderful, original and powerful debut' ELAINE FEENEY 'Heartwarming' BELLAAuthor Bio
