How to Fall in Love: A Novel
by Dalma Heyn Richard Marek&“Move over, Romeo and Juliet, Burton and Taylor, even Baby and Johnny—here come Evan and Eve! . . . a daringly simple, utterly fresh love story.&”—Linda Gottlieb, producer of Dirty Dancing When Cupid&’s job is deemed expendable (as the heavens are downsizing), he manages to buy a little bit of time by asking for one more chance to show that he can orchestrate a love for the ages . . . but the clock is ticking. Down on Earth, former ballerina Eve Golyakovsky is living a quiet life in Vermont, tending to her maple sugar business. She dearly loved her late husband, a famed choreographer, but more as a mentor than as a spouse. She&’s never been truly touched by romance, and she&’s okay with that. Evan Cameron is a well-known anthologist with a penchant for fine automobiles and commitment-free affairs. Love has threatened to visit him on occasion, but he&’s always managed to keep it from taking up residence. When Eve and Evan meet, there&’s something almost otherworldly about their connection. But when their budding romance is tested, old habits and new fears seem likely to choke this flower off at the roots. A love this intense might be more than either of them can handle—and more than even Cupid can nurture . . . At once heartwarming and wise, funny and touching, How to Fall in Love &“has its lovestruck eyes wide open. There is Divine Intervention in this beautifully written story, but the outcome is up to the mortals. A sexy and soulful novel&” (Joanna Gleason, Tony Award-winning actor). &“As fast-paced as a good thriller, and as riveting.&”—David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author
How to Fall In Love with a Man Who Lives in a Bush: A Novel
by Emmy Abrahamson“This quirky Swedish love story is the antidote to all of those Hallmark movies you’ve been bingeing.” — Elle CanadaFor readers of quirky Scandinavian fiction comes this charming and witty debut novel by Emmy Abrahamson—perfect for fans of Jonas Jonasson.Love stinks. Or maybe it just needs a shower . . . Vienna: famous for Mozart, waltzes, and pastry; less famous for Julia, a Swedish transplant who spends her days teaching English to unemployed Austrians and her evenings watching Netflix with her cat or club hopping with a frenemy. An aspiring novelist, Julia’s full of ideas for future bestsellers: A writer moves his family to a deserted hotel in the dead of winter and spirals into madness! A homely governess loves a brooding man whose crazy wife is locked up in the attic! Fine, so they’ve been done. Doesn’t mean Julia won’t find something original.Then something original finds Julia—sits down next to her on a bench, as a matter of fact. Ben is handsome (under all that beard) and adventurous (leaps from small bridges in a single bound). He’s sexy as hell and planning to shuffle off to Berlin before things can get too serious. Oh, and Ben lives in a public park.Thus begins a truth stranger than any fiction Julia might have imagined: a whirlwind relationship with a guy who shares her warped sense of humor and shakes up the just-okay existence she’s been too lazy to change. Ben challenges her to break out; she challenges him to settle down. As weeks turn to months, Julia keeps telling herself that this is a chapter in her life, not the whole book. If she writes the ending, she can’t get hurt.But what if the ending isn’t hers to write?
How to Fall in Love with Anyone: A Memoir in Essays
by Mandy Len Catron&“A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir&” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, &“To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,&” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy.What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, &“Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation&” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists&’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she&’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. &“Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us&” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. &“Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship&” (The Toronto Star).
How to Fall Out of Love Madly
by Jana Casale&“Three relatable thirty somethings drive this ode to womanhood. Learning the hard way to love themselves, the women teach invaluable lessons.&”—People &“Everyone who loves Sally Rooney should be reading Jana Casale!&”—Julie Buntin, author of Marlena Three women confront the compromises they&’ve made to appease the men they love. Joy and Annie are friends and roommates whose thirty-something lives aren&’t exactly what they&’d imagined. To make ends meet, they decide to rent their extra bedroom to Theo, who charms Joy with his salt-and-pepper hair and adoration of their one-eyed cat. When Annie goes to live with her boyfriend, Theo and Joy settle into a comfortable domesticity. Then Theo brings home Celine, the girlfriend he&’s never mentioned, who is possibly the most stunning woman Joy has ever seen. Joy resolves to do whatever it takes to hold on to him, falling ever deeper into an emotional hellscape of her own making. She is too obsessed to realize that Celine&’s beauty doesn&’t protect her from pain. Haunted by an event from her past, Celine can&’t escape her shame and finds herself in an endless cycle of self-sabotage. Annie is baffled by Joy&’s senseless devotion to Theo, but she&’s consumed by her own obsessions: she can&’t stop parsing her commitment-phobic boyfriend&’s texts in an exhausting mission to maintain his approval. At work, where she fully embraces her natural assertiveness, Annie is a star. But when an anonymous letter lands on her desk accusing her esteemed and supportive boss of sexual misconduct, she is forced to decide who and what she&’s willing to stand up for. Perceptive, mordantly funny, and full of heart, How to Fall Out of Love Madly examines women&’s many relationships—with one another, their mothers, their work, men, and themselves—to reveal their underlying power and complexity. It asks, why do so many smart, compassionate, otherwise empowered women tolerate egregious behavior from the men they love? And what will it take for them to reclaim control?
