This is beautiful. It so captures the quiet intensity Annabel brings to Dan and Jane’s love. I’ll be diving deeper into her work in two weeks, and this makes me even more excited to do so.
I loved meeting you at Lovestruck Books in Cambridge, MA. You are as funny and heartwarming as your books. I am not at all surprised to see you on the NYT bestseller list. Your writing is that good. My mom is only a spry 84, but she is enjoying my signed edition of "It's a Love Story" right now.
I am so glad I found you...even though I am 80. I love your books. I have already purchased your new one but waiting to finish the one I had started before on vacation. I love knowing I have it sitting on my nightstand waiting for me.
I am so thrilled for you that you made the list, even though I too don’t need anyone else to validate how wonderful your books are — and this one is — for me to know it! Huge congrats!
I am thrilled for you and IT’S A LOVE STORY is my favorite book by you!! Wyatt is still my book boyfriend but IT’S A LOVE STORY has a very special place in my heart as does June 4, 2025!!!! 🥂
Congratulations, NYT bestseller!! Love, love, loveddd It’s A Love Story and had such a good time see you last Friday at The Ripped Bodice with Becca ❤️
Oh my gosh. Kas ❤️ Congratulations! As a long-time fan, I am elated on your behalf. I hope you make it out to California sometime! We’d love to have a book signing in Sacramento!!!
My grandma lived to be 100 and a half, and she and I shared books. She would have loved all of yours as much as I do. Congrats again on making the list!
Congratulations!!! Love your books so much, and the more people that read IALS, the more people I have to rave about it with. Also happy birthday to Kas - I fully agree that love stories are the secret to longevity!
Team Kas
Forever
IT'S A LOVE STORY and this reflection brought me to this wonderful poem by Frank O'Hara. (Don't ask me to explain ....)
Having A Coke With You
is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian
partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt
partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches
partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary
it is hard to believe when I’m with you that there can be anything as still
as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it
in the warm New York 4 o’clock light we are drifting back and forth
between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles
and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint
you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them
I look
at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world
except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it’s in the Frick
which thank heavens you haven’t gone to yet so we can go together for the first time
and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism
just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or
at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me
and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them
when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank
or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn’t pick the rider as carefully
as the horse
it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience
which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I’m telling you about it
--Frank O'Hara
Steve that just made me tear up. So so beautiful. May we all know that kind of love
