If only the strength of the love that people feel when it is reciprocated could be as intense and obsessive as the love we feel when it is not; then marriages would be truly made in heaven.

I'm lucky because the strongest emotion I have ever felt is being in love, and that definitely informs my writing.

Any closer would unravel her mystery, the very thing which made her so truly beautiful...It was her mystery that he adored. He was in love with everything that he did not know about her...

I don't consider myself Jewish. I am half-Jewish by race but not through my mother.
