Overview

Maya never believed in reckless love. She prefers intention, clarity, and knowing where she stands before she steps forward. Reese has always trusted instinct, curiosity, and the kind of courage that comes from moving instead of waiting. Best friends since college, they built a life in New York grounded in honesty, ambition, and the comfort of knowing each other deeply. Then one night changes the shape of everything. Eli isn't looking to disrupt their world. Observant and quietly self-aware, he enters their orbit without force, carrying his own history of restraint and reflection. What begins as ease becomes something harder to define, asking questions none of them expected to face. Because attraction is simple. Honesty is not. How We Begin is a story about proximity, intention, and the fragile courage it takes to stay open when certainty isn't promised. Set against the intimate backdrop of New York City, this novel explores connection before labels, desire before decisions, and the quiet moments where everything feels possible. Book One of a series.

Author Information

Patrice Still writes character-driven fiction rooted in emotional truth, choice, and the quiet negotiations that shape modern relationships. She began writing How We Begin after a relationship experience in her own life challenged what she believed about connection, honesty, and how people show up for one another. What started as reflection became story an exploration of love that doesn't follow scripts, where growth comes not from certainty, but from communication, vulnerability, and intention. Her work centers on the moments where people decide whether to stay present, speak honestly, or retreat and what those choices cost over time. How We Begin is the first book in The What We Series.
