Summary

Dear Fahrenheit 451 : Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks


Librarian Annie Spence has crafted a collection of love letters and breakup notes to the iconic and eclectic books she's encountered over the years. From breaking up with The Giving Tree (a dysfunctional relationship book if ever there was one), to her love letter to The Time Traveler's Wife (less about time travel and more about marriage) Spence's take on books is like the best of literature ― sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes surprisingly poignant, and filled with universal truths.
