Mad Love submitted by susanlam on July 15, 2012, 1:15pm I love the story of Cupid and Psyche, and Suzanne Selfors's version didn't disappoint. In her story, Alice is trying to maintain her romance-writer mother's image for the public. She attends book signings and other events in her mother's place, promising to everyone that her mother is overseas, doing research for her next novel. In reality, though, her mother is in a mental institution and hasn't been herself for a long time. When Alice meets Errol, a strange young man who claims he used to be Cupid, weird things start happening to her. She spends a whole day lovesick for Errol after being hit with one of his arrows, and Realm, the granddaughter of one of the tenants in her apartment building, keeps snooping around in her papers, determined to find out the truth about Alice's mother. On top of it all, Alice is trying to win over Tony, a cute skate-boarding kid who always goes past her window in the morning. Will she be able to hold together under so much stress? It's worth reading to find out!
