Love May Fail by Matthew Quick is about the heartache and daring choices it takes to become the person you know deep down you are meant to be. (back blurb)
Portia Kane escapes her cheating husband and fancy Florida life. She goes back home and tries to start a new life. She is sure that her old high school English teacher, whom she adored, is a key to regaining faith in herself. He retired after a violent incident in his classroom, and now she finds he is perhaps more desperate than she. They both need a reset.
She encounters a few people - Chuck, handsome brother of an old school friend, a sassy nun, and a little boy - who all help a bit to restore her faith in the human race. (back blurb)
I didn't love this book, so I guess it failed a bit. It was a tad too slick, a bit too enamored with its own cleverness. The characters were a bit too broadly written, in my opinion. It had almost too many coincidences to keep the plot rolling. I was amused and the tale was frothy. I could predict the ending and that can be okay.
