Looking for love isn’t easy, and it’s never what you expect. WHAT WE DO FOR LOVE is a reminder of how true that is. Unlucky in love herself, “Gingy” Beckerman shows us there is always reason to keep trying. “Recaptures in words and line drawings young love in all its glorious agony and possibility.”–Glamour; “Charmingly written and illustrated . . . this savory little truffle turns out to be surprisingly poignant, laced with the bitter, the rueful, and the sweet.” –Good Housekeeping; “This book would make a perfect gift from a woman to her best woman friend.”–Chattanooga Free Press. A BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB selection.
