  • From the bestselling author of The Last Love Note and Pictures of You comes an epic story of two soulmates who have to start over before they’ve really begun.
Is it ever too late to find love—again?

This powerful, soul-stirring, sliding-doors novel from the bestselling author of The Last Love Note and Pictures of You explores second chances and unwritten endings.


Audrey and Fraser tumble into a romance for the ages. After an unlikely start, they fall deeply in love and dream of the life they’ll build together—until one tragic moment upends everything. Facing the unimaginable and wrestling with guilt, they’re left haunted by “what ifs,” each asking where they would be if fate had spun a different story.

Start at the End is an unforgettable drama of two soulmates who have to find a way to start over when they had only just begun.

"Emma Grey is a talented, beautiful writer, full of wit and wisdom and brilliant observations. I loved this book immensely and got the feeling that I have not had in a very long time: of not wanting it to end, of wanting to know everything."

—Robinne Lee, author of The Idea of You

"Captivating and original, this exquisitely crafted story sits in the ache of loss and gently shows us how to breathe again. Emma Grey writes as though emotion itself is her native tongue.”

—Anna Johnston, author of The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife

"A new novel by Emma Grey always goes straight to the top of my TBR list! Warm, wise, and wonderful. I could not love her books more."

—Alexandra Potter, author of Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up

“Equal parts tender, hilarious, and achingly perceptive, Start at the End broke my heart, and then swiftly put it back together again. I laughed, I ugly-cried, I absolutely loved it!”

—Pip Drysdale, author of The Close-Up

“Emma Grey is an expert at pulling at the heartstrings. A compelling and emotionally rich story that celebrates love in all its wonderful and complicated forms. Start at the End is a warm, emotionally layered novel with characters you can't help but invest in.”

—Rachael Johns, author of The Lucky Sisters

“Emma Grey has done it again. Start at the End is devastating, hopeful, and deeply human. This book should come with a handkerchief and a tub of ice cream.”

—Jane Tara, author of Tilda is Visible

“Emma Grey's delicate balance of light and shade in her storytelling is nothing short of genius.”

—Tess Woods, author of The Venice Hotel
