When Martin Grace enters the hip Philadelphia coffee shop Cornelia Brown manages, her life changes forever. But little does she know that her newfound love is only the harbinger of greater changes to come. Meanwhile, across town, Clare Hobbs—eleven years old and abandoned by her erratic mother—goes looking for her lost father. She crosses paths with Cornelia while meeting with him at the cafe, and the two women form an improbable friendship that carries them through the unpredictable currents of love and life.Love Walked In, the first novel by award-winning poet Marisa de los Santos, is bursting with keen insight and beautifully rendered prose. Invoking classic movies to illuminate the mystery and wonder of love in all its permutations, Love Walked In is an uplifting debut that marks the entrance of an enchanting literary voice.

Review of 'Love walked in' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A love story!

Love of family, love of your children, love of friends, romantic love, love of being in love. The beginnings of love, the end of love. Sudden love, and lifelong love. Love, love, love.

Bonus points for being super well written. Alternately light, playful, bubbly, and heart wrenching sad.
