Cupid Can't Shoot Straight

By: Marra, Deborah

This memoir is a philosophical and deeply personal exploration of love-not as permanence, but as intensity, transformation, and release.
Through a series of intimate reflections, the author revisits relationships, separation, motherhood, and emotional awakening, questioning the cultural obsession with lasting romantic union. Influenced by literature, particularly Joyce and Pavese, love becomes not a destination but a fleeting and powerful experience shaped by imagination as much as reality.
At the heart of the narrative lies a radical idea: that love is not meant to last forever. It is meant to be lived fully, understood deeply, and eventually let go.
In rejecting conventional narratives of romantic permanence, the memoir proposes a different kind of happiness-one rooted in autonomy, memory, and emotional truth.
Both ironic and lyrical, personal and philosophical, this is a book about what remains when love no longer stays.
