The multifaceted topic of love is examined from all angles in an ongoing conversation between two characters, Director and Handsome.  Over coffee, over wine, over a certain stretch of time, they explore together the apparent and not-so-apparent nuances of friendship, attraction, respect and romance, why opposites attract and why common ground too is so necessary to us as we chart our course through life. 

Both characters are looking for the love of their lives, and they understand that the best way to find something is to be clear about what you want—and have the courage to hold out for it. They consider what aspects are most important—looks, character, brains? Money? And they also discuss a philosophical place to stand in while conducting the search.

It takes courage to start a conversation when you feel you may have a lot at stake, and it takes courage to walk away from "good enough" in order to be free to find "the One." How do you get close without being burned? How do you avoid hurting another person? And how do you find someone with the qualities that matter most in the long run?

The ideas in this book are presented in short snippets that can be read in just a few minutes at a time, or all in the course of one long and lovely evening. Pull up a chair and join the conversation!
