Beautiful, heartbreaking, often very funny and entirely unforgettable, The Beginning of Everything is the irresistible new novel from the bestselling author of The Bookshop of Second Chances.
'Raw, real and highly relatable, The Beginning of Everything is a keen observation on humanity and the tenuous nature of modern life. Jess and Gethin's gentle, layered friendship is at the wonderful heart of a warm, witty story about courage, kindness, and love in all its forms. Uplifting, engaging and extraordinarily insightful!' JULIETTA HENDERSON

'Hugely enjoyable' KATIE FFORDE
