Olivia Hardwick is trapped in an unsatisfying relationship with her controlling boyfriend, Josh Norris. He urges Olivia to take another step in her career and arranges an interview for her at Star Training Consultants, or STC. Olivia teaches law to sixth-form students and doesn't want to chase unrealistic goals. Yet, Olivia reluctantly agrees to undergo an eight-week certification phase at STC. The handsome Henry Collins is STC's CEO and Olivia's trainer for these eight weeks. Henry is raising his ten-year-old son, Leo, on his own. His encounter with Olivia leads to a mutual attraction and an unexpected friendship. Will Henry and Olivia turn it into something more despite the obstacles? Fans of contemporary romance, drama, and women's fiction will appreciate Where Do I Begin? by Luvinska.

Luvinska narrates Where Do I Begin? from Henry's and Olivia's perspectives. These smoothly shift and allow us to explore the main characters more deeply. Olivia is noble-hearted in the best possible way. Her unexpected decisions drive the narrative and lead to its culmination. Henry is compassionate, kind, and loving. The everyday struggles of this working single father make him relatable and touch our hearts. The author impresses with a well-researched background and motivates us to look deeper inside ourselves, even if it scares us at first. Luvinska's writing style is clear and elegant. "The house was clean in the way only people with too much time made things clean, airless, and staged," Olivia wittily observes while visiting her mother. The fast-paced narrative has a dramatic twist and a touch of suspense as we never know what another turn of events will bring to Henry and Olivia.

Where Do I Begin? by Luvinska follows Olivia Hardwick, who finds comfort in her routine and predictable life. While people push her toward a more ambitious life with bigger goals, Olivia is satisfied with what she has. In an effort to please her mother and her boyfriend, Olivia applies to a famous corporate training agency. No one is more surprised when she is accepted. However, before she can join, Olivia needs to go through an intense eight-week training program led by the company CEO, Henry Collins. As Olivia is challenged both personally and professionally, she has to confront her fears and overcome her insecurities. While Olivia is relearning how to live, Henry is learning how to cope without his wife, raise a 10-year-old son, and be open about his vulnerability. Both of them have a big challenge ahead, but can they survive? Or will they be crushed by expectations?

Author Luvinska created two very strong and relatable characters. Olivia is the type of character that makes the reader feel like a part of her journey. She is believable and almost feels like an extension of myself rather than just a character in a story. She is vulnerable, yet confident enough to know her limitations. I loved Henry and how he pushed Olivia to find her inner strength. He was battling with grief and had the responsibility of raising a young boy alone, but he didn’t back down. Together, they found a new rhythm for their lives and became better versions of themselves. I loved the chemistry between Olivia and Henry and truly appreciated how nothing was rushed. They took their time before following their hearts. The fast pace, the character development, and the overall narrative style made the story more entertaining than I anticipated. I cannot recommend Where Do I Begin? highly enough!
