Love Stinks


Book Description

To hell with love! "Love is a hole in the heart." - Ben Hecht They say it's impossible to love and be wise. Love Stinks understands why you fell so hard in the first place--and has the words of wisdom you need to hear now that your heart's been crushed. Filled with more than 300 quotes from the world's greatest jilted and bitter lovers, this unfiltered look at love gone wrong puts all your thoughts on paper. From Virginia Woolf and Oscar Wilde to Woody Allen and Amy Sedaris, the revealing words in Love Stinks puts you in good company. You might laugh; you'll probably cry, but as Khaled Hosseini once said, it is "better to be hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie."

Sometimes Love Stinks


Book Description

What's in a name? Everything when it's laughable. Gastrella M. Balance was living a nightmare... daily. For several years, she'd been the butt of jokes about... her butt. Moving to Knollville was a chance to start fresh. Tanner had everything a guy could ask for in his senior year of high school. He had a football in one hand and a pretty girl hanging off the other arm. Being popular and the centre of attention came naturally to him. Taking tests, however, did not and he was desperate to keep that part of his life to himself. When a series of pranks go awry, they'll both be faced with confronting their personal anxieties. Together, they might have a chance to overcome the odds and survive the year. Sometimes Love Stinks is a romantic comedy that deals with issues that are both real and difficult. While the main characters in this story are from the mundane world, readers can expect to find the signature supernatural kiss C.A. King adds in all her books.
