So then maybe it's better, as Aurelia Alcaïs does, to talk about the kind written in lower case, the more intimate kind of love, the kind that intertwines with our lives and creeps into the cracks of the everyday.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith simple and elegant illustrations, \u003ci\u003eYou \u0026amp; Me \u0026amp; Why We Are in Love \u003c\/i\u003etells us about love in all its forms, not concerning itself with who or what you love, but above all, how you love. There's the requited love that Daisy has for nature, and then there's David who buys flowers for his wife of twenty years, not to mention Jean, the punk rocker who is secretly looking for a girl who is just like his grandmother. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOddly charming and surprisingly sweet, \u003ci\u003eYou \u0026amp; Me \u0026amp; Why We Are in Love \u003c\/i\u003eis the perfect impulse purchase for anyone engaged in matters of the heart.“Love comes in many flavors, and Alcaïs tries to capture many of them. . . .
