A sharply funny, deeply tender tale of first love and chosen family set against the backdrops of London and New York City, perfect for fans of David Nicholls and Coco Mellors.

"I’ve never read a book that captures the joy, agony and complexity of true love as honestly as The Point of It All does. It absolutely knocked me out."—Clea DuVall

On the morning of her wedding, Holland finds herself in a hotel room with the one person who has always made her feel most like herself. The ceremony is about to start. The guests are waiting. And suddenly, the life she has carefully constructed feels dangerously easy to step out of.

Ros and Holland meet as teenagers and fall into the kind of love that feels invented just for them—intense, electric, impossible to outgrow. Over the years that follow, they orbit each other across cities and continents, through other relationships, career highs, private griefs, and public reinventions. Sometimes they’re inseparable. Sometimes they’re strangers. But neither of them ever quite escapes the pull of the other.

Sweeping, sharply funny, and deeply tender, The Point of It All captures the particular ache—and magic—of queer longing across a lifetime, asking what we owe our first great love, and whether growing up ever really means growing apart.

At once intimate and epic, this is a love story about timing, yearning, and the one person who might just be the point of it all.
