About the New Book: Six-Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak
From the heart's high moments ("She kissed me and said yes") to its lowest ("Never should have bought that ring"); with both piercing big-picture insights ("Found true love; married someone else") and peculiar daily realities ("Married Russian. Brush teeth with vodka.") you've proven a lot can be said about love in just a half-dozen well-chosen words.
Open your hearts and spill your guts—and you could be in our next book, out, of course, in time for next Valentine's Day.
