Reviews

At once sweeping and intimate, Laws of Love and Logic is a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken. Debra Curtis is not afraid to explore big questions about love and loss, but always with tenderness -- Shelby van Pelt, author of REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES
Laws of Love and Logic resonated so deeply with me, its the best thing Ive read in years. A magnificent, spellbinding love story with characters Ill be thinking about for a long time. I was utterly enthralled by it -- Clare Leslie Hall, author of BROKEN COUNTRY
A captivating debut about love, loss and the many ways in which the past bleeds into the present, set against a backdrop of thirty years worth of American social progress and shifting expectations for women. Throughout it all, Lily wrestles with her love for two very different men, and is sustained by the unbreakable bond she shares with her brilliant but deeply complicated sister, Jane. I will be thinking about them both for a long, long time -- J. Courtney Sullivan, author of THE CLIFFS
