It's that time of year again, heading up to February 14th and you ask yourself, 'What's less fattening than chocolates? What lasts longer than flowers? What's cheaper than perfume? What's more thoughtful than a card? What's as exciting as red lace underwear?' and the answer is LOVE, a collection of short stories (14 stories) by Barnaby Wilde, loosely based on the theme of love. Stories of meetings and partings. Stories of hope and loss. Romance, danger and wishful thinking. A little humour, a dash of pathos and a whole lot of love.
Amelia goes for coffee and finds a man. A boy meets a girl on a train and misses his chance, or does he? Julie goes to the fair on her own and has her best birthday ever. Two young people rob a gas station with disastrous consequences. And, sometimes, you just know.
If you did this last year, then why not look at one of Barnaby's other books?
(PS For maximum brownie points you could always buy flowers as well. Just sayin')
