Love May Fail is a story of the great highs and lows of existence: the heartache and daring choices it takes to become the person you know (deep down) you are meant to be.

An aspiring feminist and under-appreciated housewife embarks on an odyssey to find human decency and goodness -- and her high school English teacher -- in New York Times bestselling author Matthew Quick's offbeat masterpiece, a quirky ode to love, fate, and hair metal.

Portia Kane is having a meltdown. After escaping her ritzy Florida life and her cheating pornographer husband, she finds herself back in South Jersey, a place that remains largely unchanged from the years of her unhappy youth. Lost and alone, looking to find the goodness in the world she believes still exists, Portia sets off to save herself by saving someone else -- a beloved high school English teacher who has retired after a traumatic incident.

Will a sassy nun, an ex-heroin addict, a metal-head little boy, and her hoarder mother help or hurt her chances on this madcap quest to restore a good man's reputation and find renewed hope in the human race?

Matthew Quick is easily one of my favorite authors of all time. His books, his stories not only bring certain joy in my life but also the kind of interaction/ dialogue I wish to have with people. His writing is like butter on hot toast, so smooth, he will make you laugh, he will make you cry and then he will teach you a lesson or well talk about what he learned and then it's up to you if you want to follow it or not. IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL. I love how the details of each one of his stories, how he brings out the complex characters in just simple words and it's great that you are able to relate to them. AH! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Taking one star away because I really didn't get the Portia being a feminist angle, it was kind of useless and not required. P.S. I CRIED SO HARD in the middle of the book and somehow this book gave me closure.
