Description Supposing Books Love May Fail
Portia Kane is having a meltdown. After escaping her ritzy Florida life and her cheating pornographer husband, she finds herself back in South Jersey, a place that remains largely unchanged from the years of her unhappy youth. Lost and alone, looking for the goodness she believes still exists in the world, Portia sets off on a quest to save the one man who always believed in her—and in all of his students: her beloved high school English teacher, Mr. Vernon, who has retired broken and alone after a traumatic classroom incident.Will a sassy nun, an ex-heroin addict, a metal-head little boy, and her hoarder mother help or hurt Portia's chances on this quest to resurrect a good man and find renewed hope in the human race? Love May Fail is a story of the great highs and lows of existence: the heartache and daring choices it takes to become the person you know (deep down) you are meant to be.

I always find myself forging a connection with the teachers in Quick's books. They inspire and challenge. They offer hope and a greater good.I've deleted my original review of this book. In short, I didn't like it and I didn't finish it.
Every time Matthew Quick releases another novel into the world, I feel like it's Christmas or maybe even my birthday. I wasn't too sure where Love May Fail was taking me when I began it - this author is instant-read for me and it had been a while since I'd read the summary - but this is where I get to trust the author and enjoy the ride. I love this and it paid off. By the end of the book, I found myself working hard to stay at my emotional baseline (I failed) and truthfully I ended the day much

This book started out promising but then it just went south for me. I enjoy Matthew Quick's writing style. His writes his characters as ordinary people facing life's challenges, but something was missing with the characters in this story.This book was told in a multiple character perspective which for me didn't work that well. His characters were not very likable and somewhat depressing. The first 2/3rds of the book look like it was going to lead us somewhere but the last third was just went off
Review to come when I feel like it. ;)7/25/16I finally feel like it so here you are:Love May Fail...and it does. Like how I felt while reading this book. Initially I thought I was falling in love but about halfway through I realized that my new feelings were more akin to annoyance that was quickly followed by a disappointment filled dislike. It reminded me of a younger boy I chased after in my later years of high school. I flirted, he flirted and it was all sweet and fun until I realized his
This was never getting more than 3 stars after the Albert Camus business near the beginning, but I was interested enough in the story to continue, even after that plot decision. I saw what the author was doing with it, but I do not forgive. Matthew Quick, in my short experience with him, strikes me as a fan of the redemptive tale, and since I too am a fan, I enjoy what I've experienced so far. I really liked the ending of this book. It made me cry, and I do love a good book cry. The audio book
