The Opposite of Love

May 5th, 2008

The Opposite of Love, Julie Buxbaum

First Line: “Last night, I dreamt that I chopped Andrew up into a hundred little pieces, like a Benihana chef, and ate them, one by one.”

The loved, lost, love again plotline is a personal favorite of mine, and its done in pitch-perfect prose in this debut novel about an attorney who ends a happy relationship and plummets into the hole she’s dug for herself.

For: Loveaholics and pessimists alike. –Malena Lott
