The Unhinged Cupid: semi-serious stories of loves no would have chosen - but perhaps were the best (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258014733)

Cupid is three thousand years old, his elbow creaks, and chamomile tea no longer works.

One day, out of fatigue, distraction, or perhaps on purpose, he shoots himself in the foot. The arrow flies crooked. And suddenly, everything changes.

A yoga instructor falls for a loud Neapolitan who starts ragù at seven in the morning. A quiet librarian meets a biker who hides poetry in his pocket. An engineer who trusts spreadsheets collides with a woman who talks to sunflowers. And that is only the beginning.

The Unhinged Cupid is a witty, tender, and quietly sharp novel-in-stories about the couples nobody would have chosen and the loves that make no sense on paper, yet feel truer than perfection ever could.

Across seven surprising, character-driven tales, mistaken arrows become second chances, incompatibilities become recognition, and love reveals itself not as balance, but as the strange grace of being seen by the one person who was never part of the plan.

Because the love we expect rarely resembles the love that arrives.

And what arrives is often the truest thing that ever happens to us.
