A Love Story for Bewildered Girls

Grace loves a woman. Annie loves a man. Violet isn't quite sure. But you'll love them all.

Grace has what one might call a 'full and interesting life', which is code for not married and having no kids. Her life is the envy of her friends, but all this time she has been waiting in secret for love to hit her so hard that she would run out of breath, just like the way a wave in a rough sea bowls you over, slams you into the sand, and nearly drowns you.

When Grace meets a beautiful woman at a party, she falls suddenly and desperately in love. At the same party, lawyer Annie meets the man of her dreams - the only man she's ever met whose table manners are up to her mother's standards. And across the city, Violet, who is afraid of almost everything, is making another discovery of her ownβ€”that for the first time in her life, she's falling in love with a woman.

A Love Story for Bewildered Girls by Emma Morgan explores the intricate paths of love through the lives of Grace, Annie, and Violet, each discovering themselves and the kind of love that makes life irrevocably altered.
