At Eleanor Evans' 100th birthday party, four generations of her family gather beneath one roof for what may be the last time. Some are grieving people they lost years ago. Some are hiding addictions, failed marriages, resentment, illness, or secrets they have never said out loud. Some are barely holding themselves together at all. Told across decades and multiple timelines, It Starts With 'F' follows one deeply imperfect family through love, loss, addiction, divorce, queerness, death, recovery, parenthood, and the quiet moments that somehow change everything. A college girl with a terminal brain tumor falls in love anyway. A mother writes letters to her teenage child after their suicide. Two boys become brothers in the aftermath of tragedy. An aging matriarch watches her family unravel and love each other despite it. Every chapter reveals another piece of the same family, the same history, and the same question: Why do people continue to love when loss is inevitable? For readers who love character-driven stories, messy families, nonlinear timelines, devastating emotional damage, and books that feel painfully human.

Seven older brothers. One crowded house. They gave him a place to live- but forgot to give him a home. Growing up, his life was perfectly organized on paper, but entirely empty in reality. To his seven older brothers, he was a responsibility to manage rather than a sibling to love. In the chaotic rush of looking after him, they completely missed him, leaving him to grow up isolated and invisible in the middle of a loud family. But you can't ignore a brother forever. When the emotional distance between them finally shatters, seven older brothers are forced to face the truth: they kept him safe, but they completely forgot to raise him. Now, they have to figure out how to stop being just guardians, and finally learn how to be big brothers.
