A review by mtomchek
Shine On, Bright and Dangerous Object by Laurie Colwin

4.0

"...no matter with what stealth you approached passion, no matter how long the waiting time spins out before it erupts, it is the soul of impatience, and recklessness lives right in the heart of it."

"...there isn't any safe and painless way to love."

Realistic and true. Love can be so blinding and painful, and we can get lost amidst all of the glamor of love. This was intense, sad, and definitely took turns I did not expect. Love Laurie Colwin, her words relate to me, which is much needed at this time. Love should be easy and cozy, feel supported and real even in the slow moments. If you lose your hobbies, your passions, yourself...then it may not be love...
