title: Love May Fail: A Novel
author:  Matthew Quick 
description: Inspiring... Matthew Quick has a way with wounded characters. (<i>Boston Globe</i>)<br /><br />Mr. Quick excels at writing what he knows, and making readers feel intimately connected to his characters. Love May Fail also reflects his mastery of devising humorous dialogue, interlaced with rabid vulgarity. (<i>Wall Street Journal</i>)<br /><br />[One of] the seven books you have to read this summer (<i>Marie Claire</i>)<br /><br />Ultimate summer reading. (<i>Good Housekeeping</i>)<br /><br />A well-told tale of how, through will or force, even the most broken people can sometimes be repaired. Enjoyable, cinematic. (<i>Philadelphia Inquirer</i>)<br /><br />Quick nails it again with his quirky-but-damaged characters and gritty real-life storiesbut this time, its an ex-wife of a cheating pornographer, her hoarder of a mother, and her former high school English teacher both moving and delighting us. (Glamour.com)<br /><br />An offbeat odyssey and a really fun end-of-summer ride. (<i>Parade</i>)<br /><br />Theres always reason to hope in [Quicks] novelsA lovely, entertaining book. (<i>New York Daily News</i>)<br /><br />I couldnt put it down. (<i>Pittsburg Post-Gazette</i>)<br /><br />Instead of breaking your heart, Quick steals it, strengthens it and gives it back.a fine writer with a gift similar to that of fellow American novelist John Irvingcreating quirky, flawed but ultimately lovable and deeply human main characters. (<i>Winnipeg Free Press</i>)
