First Love
Unforgettable Stories Of
Getting Weak In The Knees And Falling

Edited by Faye Ilogon

 
A young man smitten with the girl-next-door unwittingly spreads mush through a nifty notebook that travels around the world. The notebook miraculously finds its way back to him. Will the girl follow suit?

Can careless kisses do more damage than nicotine and loud rock music? Restless best friends see each other in a different light and end up locking lips one lazy summer.

Is love at first sight already passé? Sight unseen, blogging addicts fall in love with each other’s words.
Can they make it real?


In the beginning, love isn’t all that complicated.
Or so we like to think. But it looks like we’ve all been in denial. But when the variables come, the equation of turning one into the power of two does not seem so simple after all. Here are eleven stories that let us examine all the nuttiness, the silliness, and the delightful cheesiness of love in its first flush. These are stories that take a closer—sometimes cynical and often misty-eyed—
look at the initial thrill of falling in love for the first time. Is there a math to this mush-filled madness?
Does the numbers even count? Perhaps the answer lies somewhere between in these pages.

Heartbreak
Stories That Will Stay With You
Longer Than Your Ex Did

Edited by Cel Coscolluela

A jaded model lands a gig at a fantasy convention where she dons an Arwen costume and promptly falls
for a man who calls himself “Aragorn.”

A woman files for annulment and on the very same day loses an arm when the train she is riding is bombed.

A perennially single twentysomething contemplates wedding invitations until her romantic prospect
comes knocking on her hotel room,
arm in arm with another man.

Here are ten stories that show the tragedy and comedy that is heartbreak. A demonstration of the human propensity for getting high on an emotion that, unfortunately, also has the power to bring anyone crashing down. Unfortunate? Yes. Inevitable? Perhaps. And does it make for a good read? Absolutely.

Cozy Reads proudly presents Heartbreak, a collection of stories featuring new and exciting voices alongside prizewinning authors, all of whom tell the story of love’s many disappointments with the grace
and wisdom of the experienced.

Heartbreak is available at National Bookstore, Powerbooks, Fullybooked, A Different Bookstore and Booktopia.
