While draining fettucine for our meal last Friday evening, I was asked for my hand in something resembling marriage.

Bursting with affection, wit, loss, sex, and a whole lot of love, the authors in this collection face the burning beauty of love and write of both the blaze and the ashes left behind. Crush will quicken the pulses of cynics and believers alike as it reimagines everything that makes the heart leap. A microscopic and kaleidoscopic exploration of love, these pages will reaffirm there is no limit to the ways people fall in and out of love.

 

“Poignant, funny, and heartbreaking.”
