Description
Julian Reid has spent his entire life relying on the cold, hard logic of physics to make sense of the world. But when he moves to Atlanta for his first semester of college, he quickly discovers that the most overwhelming variables aren’t found in a lab. Miles away from his family and struggling with chronic anxiety, Julian is just trying to navigate his new independence alongside his two inseparable friends, Theron and Anya. He’s looking for academic success—he’s definitely not looking for a distraction.
That all changes on a rain-slicked sidewalk. A single slip leads to a frantic catch, and suddenly, Julian is staring into the hazel eyes of Cas. Effortlessly charming and possessing a grounded, quiet confidence, Cas is the calm to Julian’s internal storm. He has a way of silencing the static of Julian’s anxiety, turning a complicated, overwhelming new chapter into something simple and sweet.
As the physical laws of attraction begin to override Julian’s carefully constructed plans, he is forced to face an undeniable truth: sometimes, the person who keeps you from falling is the very person you’re destined to fall for. Where We Began is a tender exploration of connection, courage, and the messy, beautiful physics of first love.
