Momentum Is a Lie
A Novel

Will Chaffee is good at this. The pitch. The room. The deal. As co-founder of Sawbuck, he has built something from nothing — and the market is starting to notice.But the higher he climbs, the less he recognizes the view.Momentum Is a Lie follows Will through the years when everything was working and something was quietly breaking — the relationships he rationalized, the choices he deferred, the version of himself he kept promising to return to. When the company’s IPO push forces a reckoning he can no longer outrun, Will has to decide whether the life he built was ever really the one he wanted.Narrated in Will’s own voice — precise, wry, and unexpectedly honest — this is a novel about founders and fathers, about the gap between arrival and meaning, and about what you find when you finally stop moving long enough to ask where you were going.Momentum Is a Lie is the debut novel from Harry Holland.
