Cupid Strikes
In my quest to spice up my literary life, I recently picked up a collection of short stories titled Where the God of Love Hangs Out. I had some moderately favorable reviews, and (I’ll admit it) the NEW section of the library was a bit barren. When I recognized the title from my recent book review perusal, I figured it was an omen and I should pick it up. Though Amy Bloom’s writing did not capture my attention immediately (it took me a few days to get through the first story), I did eventually become interested in it.
The stories each revolve around, you guessed it, love. Every story presents characters of different ages, at different stages in their marriages or relationships, and all of them struggle to find happiness in the love they have. Some of the stories captured my attention; others were not as riveting. Overall, it was a collection of stories I could pick up and put down, leave or take.
