    About this ebook

    This lively collection of stories, set in America and India, explores love, loss, and the muddle between the two. In the title story, a student falls in love with a mysterious neighbor who'd be perfect... if she weren't dead. In "Rage," an actor discovers a wrenching truth about the boy he's killed in anger. In "Break-up" a husband draws the wrong conclusion from his wife's emotional withdrawal.
