Thoughts on beginning the book with the ending of the book?
My wording is wonky in the title haha, but I want to get some feedback on structuring a book.
I’m currently in the process of writing a romance novel, and I thought of the opening scene being the proposal. It’s obviously a big deal for the woman, so she sort of mentally is recapping her relationship/journey (aka the middle chunk of the book).
I also thought of having the ending be the prologue then sort of jumping into the events that took place before the proposal.
Thoughts? Is this too cheesy/cliche? If you like the idea, would you advise me to put the ending (the proposal) in the prologue or beginning of ch1?
