Hamburg, 1960. Willa and Elsie March are on the run, and they find safety at the Bambi Kino in the red light district of Hamburg with five cocky, sometimes maddening, usually drunk, and bloody talented boys--the Beatles. Willa has never met anyone quite like John Lennon. He's everything she didn't know she'd been missing. "I thought about John, about our interactions and our late-night chats. He was without a doubt intense, and most definitely moody. He made me feel so many things--confused, annoyed, relieved, comfortable, content, and bloody irritated--but not nervous." And there's more to Elsie's relationship with Paul McCartney than she's willing to admit. This is their story filled with trust, betrayal, secrets, love, lies, hope, and the Beatles. ** Achievements 2025 Grand Winner - Fanficiton Category (The Nano Watt Awards) ** •Part One: 1960 (Chp 0 - Chp 17) Started: March 5, 2023 Completed: June 27, 2023 •Part Two: 1961 (Chp 18 - Chp 36) Started: Sept 24, 2023 Completed: June 16, 2024 •Part Three: 1962 (Chp 37 - Chp 53) Started: Sept 29, 2024 Completed: March 23, 2025 ** Thank you so much to the amazing @strange_daisies for creating the cover! ** [Just Like] Starting Over is a work of fiction.

~ Part 1 ~ Beatrix is trying to finish her first novel in 1966 when she meets Paul at a party thrown by the art dealer Robert Fraser. Starting an affair with Paul McCartney is a terrible idea, but she just can't seem to stop herself. 1966 is a transformative year for Paul with the release of Revolver, the genesis of Sgt Pepper, and the end of the Beatles touring years. Paul is trying to reconcile being both an artist and a Beatle when he meets Beatrix. ~ Part 2 ~ As Beatrix is increasingly drawn into the chaotic and bizarre circus of the Beatles' inner circle, she tries to find her place as Paul's partner without losing herself in the process. 1967 is a year of epic highs and dramatic lows for Paul as the Beatles release Sgt Pepper, meet the Maharishi, and embark on a Magical Mystery Tour. In some ways Beatrix is still elusive to him, but these days he is very familiar with what her knickers look like. - Disclaimer: this is a work of fiction.
