This isn't a love letter to Veronica as much as a love letter to the process of falling in love, and to that of writing a novel. . . delightfully hyper-aware of its own storytelling." -Books I Done Read "A great read indeed . . .

The story crackles with energy as it progresses toward a satisfying conclusion." -The Outer View --- "Once upon a time, I fell in love with a girl who didn't love me in return."

Angus Silver knows what people love and whom, and he offers that young writer who fell in love with that girl who didn't love him in return a simple choice. The choice is easy. Making it is not. Making it will break someone's heart.
