I picked up It Starts with Us and was instantly drawn into the narrative. I think the characters' authenticity and their battles with real-world issues made the story relatable.

I am sure anyone who's navigated the waters of love and loss will see a reflection of their own experiences. The narrative, with its raw emotions and an underlying note of hope, makes it a heart-tugging read that leaves a lasting impact. The book also opens up conversations about important but often unspoken topics, making it a worthy read

Many women feel shame around getting themselves into these kinds of situations, but we are all human, and it can happen subtly, so subtly that you don’t see it…

From Leslie's list on captivating stories of women’s life journeys.
