Love in Lowercase
by Julie Wark Miralles FrancescA romantic comedy for language lovers and fans of The Rosie Project, about a brainy bachelor and the cat that opens his eyes to life's little pleasuresMatthew Quick, New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook and Love May Fail:"A delightfully absurd, life-affirming celebration. I literally stood up and cheered as I read the last page." When Samuel, a lonely linguistics lecturer, wakes up on New Year's Day, he is convinced that the year ahead will bring nothing more than passive verbs and un-italicized moments--until an unexpected visitor slips into his Barcelona apartment and refuses to leave. The appearance of Mishima, a stray, brindle-furred cat, leads Samuel from the comforts of his favorite books, foreign films, and classical music to places he's never been (next door) and to people he might never have met (his neighbor Titus, with whom he's never exchanged a word). Even better, Mishima leads him back to the mysterious Gabriela, whom he thought he'd lost long before. In the spirit of The Solitude of Prime Numbers and The Guest Cat, Love in Lowercase is a charming and uplifting novel about how one man, thanks to a persistent cat-turned-catalyst, awakens to the importance of the little things in life--and discovers that sometimes love is hiding in the smallest characters.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Love In Strange Places
by Anonymous BroadlitWhat is the perfect place to find true love? Most likely it's not a question you've pondered, and yet you probably do have a pretty clear idea of the scenario.

And yet, IT happens. You can stumble into true love in the most decidedly unromantic places and under some pretty shocking conditions - as you are about to discover through the stories in this collection.True love - thank goodness! -- has also been found when you decide to literally escape from a twisted "love" -- such as a stalker's crazed obsession or a father's incestuous possession. The genuine love these women eventually found was all the more glorious when juxtaposed against the terror of their past. Then there's the failure of merely good-enough love, which can lead you to despair of ever finding true love. To protect your fragile heart, you might play mind games by telling yourself that you don't care about true love or that you aren't looking for it or that you don't need it to be happy. You will read stories here, however, where that ruse eventually just didn't hold up in the face of a beckoning true love. Ultimately you have to risk shedding your defenses - and the disappointments of your romantic past - in order to slip into true love.So if you enjoy asking couples, "How did you two meet?" be prepared for a wild ride of answers to that question in these stories. Spoiler Alert: True love is going to find you no matter how down and dirty you look or feel about yourself, how unglamorous the setting, how traumatic your past or present is.
