With hundreds of tightly crafted, witty, sweet, straight-from-the-heart love notes,Dear Old Love perfectly (and often hilariously) captures our most meaningfulrelationships, whether with a longtime ex or the kid next door. These notes,from real people, remind us of the loves we've savored and lost, those we let slipthrough our fingers, or those we ran away from-and how they've shaped ourlives forever. ADVICE: "Mother told me, ‘Don't buy the first coat you try on.' So I broke upwith you. But in retrospect, I think she was just talking about coats. Sorry."I, SPECTATOR: "I may have exaggerated my devotion to sports to win you, butmy love of sitting, eating and watching things was genuine."STUNG: "I can't believe you're becoming the type of guy who stays cute. Couldn't you have followed Robert Redford instead of Paul Newman-moreSundance, less kid?"U of YOU: "You were the only worthwhile thing I studied in college."SQUASHED: "We would have stayed together longer if you weren't such amilitant vegan. But I will always remember the summer when I ate only sides. ByAugust I saw you as a talking pork chop."MISSED SOME SPOTS: "Wish I could've saved some of your freckles,somehow."The back of the book features a fill-in-the-blank section to help readers capturethe essence of their own bygone romances: "You were my first _______, but I was too ________ to ever ________ you.""That time we were _______ along the _______, and you said you'd _______ meforever-you didn't mean it, did you?"
