Another great read from one of my favourite authors. It is wonderful when an author can continually surprise you with the variety of ideas and themes in his many books.Love Cuts is about love, the good, the bad, the awkward, the embarrassment and everything else about this most powerful of human emotions. The story focuses on two sisters and all the relationships around them. Separated parents, step-family, friendship like sisters, babies are included as well as each girls love interest.What I really liked about the books was that fact that none of the ‘loves’ was perfect. One male character was frightened of this new feeling that allowed someone else so much power over him. The parents love for children is sometimes impatient, sometimes smothering. One of the sisters has been hurt by love, and as a result she is angrily lashing out at everyone. Love makes everyone do silly things, which are often regretted later. Love cuts, love hurts, but yet love can also heal.The title and cover of this book may label it as girlie, but don’t be put off. This is a book for every young adult, male and female.
