Ah, love [sigh]. Did I ever tell you about the first time I fell in love?

From across the room I saw her—wearing my favorite band’s t-shirt.

The room got dim and everything froze.

When I woke up, I was in the Emergency Room in extreme pain, and it wasn’t just from being hit by one of cupid’s arrows either.

David Levithan’s hilarious sense of humor shines through in this collection of “stories about love” that run the gamut from stories of heartbreak to stories of true love.

You’ll learn to fall in love all over again!
