The national bestselling author of Veil of Roses makes her NAL debut with a stand-out commercial women's novel that's smart, funny, sad, and uplifting.
Since the love of her life betrayed her, Meg has had a hard time putting into practice her Hokey-Pokey Theory of Life, which demands that you put your whole self in. What's the point of opening yourself up if your heart comes back a little more broken each time? These days, Meg and her nine-year-old son Henry are taking on the world in their own lively way, and it's enough.
Then Meg unexpectedly finds love in the form of an exotically handsome Iranian-American who befriends her and Henry over a game of chess in a coffee shop. When Meg takes another leap of faith, she begins to discover that in order to heal you have to hurt, but most of all you have to live your life and put your whole self in.
i had read Laura Fitzgeralds' Veil of Roses and was very excited when i saw that she had another book. One True Theory of Love, is a great non-typical love story. It is a bit more realistic and i love how she uses different cultures in her writing. I found it hard to put the book down. I was turning the pages with great anticipation of what would happen next. I found myself highlighting a lot of the quotes used throughout the book. If you want a light enjoyable read that is not a typical love story then this is the book for you.

I found this book a nice way to unwind at the end of the day when I'm too tired to read anything more demanding. I had a few objections to the way the main character interacted with her young son and the fact that this never got addressed by the author. But, that made for good discussion at book club. I would read another book by this author.

I was taken by the synopsis, but could barely get through it! I kept trying, but couldn't wait to get to the next book--not a good indication of a enjoyable read. Okay, so I am pretty fussy. I love a good story with good characters, but the writing really has to be smart and engaging. Not so with this book.
