Crib Notes-Modern Love
/
Love stories, like people, come in all shapes and sizes. The books I have gathered for you here are unexpected and unconventional. And never, ever boring!
JUST LIKE YOU - Nick Hornby
Brilliantly observed, tender, but also brutally funny new novel that gets to the heart of what it means to fall surprisingly and headlong in love with the best possible person, someone you didn't see coming.
A recently divorced, forty something schoolteacher with two school-aged sons, meets a much younger man who still lives with his mother. Whatever script on romance they had been following is flipped on its head as sparks begin to fly. They are of a different class, a different culture, and a different generation. But sometimes it turns out that the person who can make you happiest is the one you least expect.
