Publisher Description
Love is not an abstract idea. It is not saying 'I'm here for you, let me know if you need me'. It's making the decision, when someone close to you is in trouble, about what you will DO to fix as much as you can for them. It's a 'doing' thing. A verb.
For Callie, love is about looking after her family - her husband and two children - and their beautiful home.
For Steff, Callie's younger sister, love is about experiencing all that life has to offer without having to ever settle down.
For Lila, Callie's best friend, love is about finding a soulmate. And when she meets divorced father-of-two Eddie, she knows her search is over.
For Walter and Honor, Callie and Steff's divorced parents, love is about caring for the daughters they share.
Then Callie gets some life-changing news. And suddenly the whole family is about to understand what 'love' really, really means....

Jane Green The Love Verb
One of the most touching story of love not just between a husband and a wife but the love between sisters and mother and daughter. The most emotional book I have ever read. You truly feel the pain of the characters as they watch someone they love deteriorate and die before their eyes. The emotions and fear they overcome. And how a dying woman teaches them about life. A definite must read!!
The love verb
Fab gripping story that had me in tears but I couldn't put it down. Has taken me a year to pick it up and three nights to read. But a very perceptive incite to life, love, happiness and the important things in life.
Slow start but great book
The book started quite slowly but I was sobbing by the end. Great read, persist if you struggle to get in to it.
