About this listen

‘Sweeping and intimate… a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken’ SHELBY VAN PELT, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures
‘A magnificent, spellbinding love story’ CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of Broken Country
__________

1976, Rhode Island.

Lily has two loves.

There’s the boy, in whom she finds a kindred spirit. And then there’s Jane, her brilliant but troubled younger sister and best friend.

Lily has a plan.

She’ll graduate, go to college, marry her high-school sweetheart and start a family of her own, her future unfolding before her as a bright, clear path.

But the laws of love and logic are not as simple as Lily thinks.

When one fateful night throws Lily’s life on an entirely new course, she’ll discover just how fragile the futures are that we so carefully plan and imagine for ourselves. Because the universe has a plan of its own – and what seems to be the end of one great love story might just be the beginning of another…©2026 Debra Curtis (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Critic Reviews

At once sweeping and intimate, Laws of Love and Logic is a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken. Debra Curtis is not afraid to explore big questions about love and loss, but always with tenderness (Shelby van Pelt, author of REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES)
Laws of Love and Logic resonated so deeply with me, it’s the best thing I’ve read in years. A magnificent, spellbinding love story with characters I’ll be thinking about for a long time. I was utterly enthralled by it (Clare Leslie Hall, author of BROKEN COUNTRY)
A captivating debut about love, loss and the many ways in which the past bleeds into the present, set against a backdrop of thirty years’ worth of American social progress and shifting expectations for women. Throughout it all, Lily wrestles with her love for two very different men, and is sustained by the unbreakable bond she shares with her brilliant but deeply complicated sister, Jane. I will be thinking about them both for a long, long time (J. Courtney Sullivan, author of THE CLIFFS)
