“At once sweeping and intimate, Laws of Love and Logic is a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken. Debra Curtis is not afraid to explore big questions about love and loss, but always with tenderness.”—Shelby Van Pelt, New York Times bestselling author of Remarkably Bright Creatures
“Laws of Love and Logic resonated so deeply with me. It’s the best thing I’ve read in years: a magnificent, spellbinding love story with characters I’ll be thinking about for a long time. I was utterly enthralled by it.”—Clare Leslie Hall, New York Times bestselling author of Broken Country
“A captivating debut about love, loss, and the many ways in which the past bleeds into the present, set against a backdrop of 30 thirty years worth of American social progress and shifting expectations for women . . . Throughout it all, Lily wrestles with her love for two very different men, and is sustained by the unbreakable bond she shares with her brilliant but deeply complicated sister, Jane. I will be thinking about them both for a long, long time.”—J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of The Cliffs and Friends and Strangers
“A sparely written but powerfully moving portrait of first love, and of the people who remain part of us no matter what life brings . . . I adore a story that spans a long time, as this one does, and I especially love a story that, when I finish, leaves me with a feeling of hope. I look forward to whatever Debra Curtis writes next.”—Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes
“Set against the quiet ache of lost chances and the lingering shadow of a shared tragedy, Laws of Love and Logic is a sharply observed, deeply felt novel about the lives we build, the loves we choose, the compromises we endure—and the rare and complicated gift of getting to ask ‘what if’ one more time.”—Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of The Nest and Good Company
“Debra Curtis writes fearlessly and wisely about family, marriage, addiction, faith, and redemption, and her soulful characters never take the easy way out. The motherless sisters in her debut novel Laws of Love and Logic grow up in the face of problems that have no solutions, where the way forward is simple but never easy: love unconditionally, try not to hurt anyone, and brace yourself for the next loss, the next joy. Curtis is an author you can trust.”—Bonnie Jo Campbell, bestselling author of The Waters
