Audrey Lowell is a journalist searching for her own definition of love while she researches her column on dating and helps others write romantic letters of passion. She also follows the relationships of her friends and colleagues as they navigate internet dating, haste-dating, first dates, third dates, accelerated romance, the art of kissing, the art of sex, the art of writing, the right bedlinen, the right behaviour and even issues as unexpected as literary snobbishness and pedantry with punctuation. 'Love. A True Story' is a piquant, wickedly funny and keenly observed novel about modern dating, with all its hidden codes and protocols. At its heart, though, is the one thing we long to understand more than everything else - love.
