Laugh, cry, and nod along with this hilarious and heartfelt poetry collection that dissects the absurdity of modern romance. With wit, irony, and brutal honesty, Love and Hurt explores the messy, beautiful, and often ridiculous world of love-where grand gestures flop, text messages get misread, and heartbreak leads to unexpected laughter. Through 86 poems (a nod to the year 1986), this collection captures the universal vulnerability of loving, losing, and learning to laugh at ourselves.
