2016., Adult, William Morrow Paperbacks Call No: Fic Tho Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Not dislike.

Lucy can't understand Joshua's joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy's overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude. Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job... But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesn't hate Joshua. And maybe, he doesn't hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game."--From publisher.

By Schrank, Benc2013., General, Farrar, Straus and Giroux Call No: Fic Sch Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Peter Herman is something of a folk hero. 'Marriage Is a Canoe', his legendary, decades-old book on love and relationships, has won the hearts of hope ful romantics and desperate cynics alike. He and his beloved wife lived a relatively peaceful life in upstate New York. But now it's 2010, and Peter's wife has just died. Completely lost, he passes the time with a woman he admires but doesn't love - and he begins to look back through the pages of his book and question homilies such as: A good marriage is a canoe - it needs care and isn't meant to hold too much - no more than two adults and a few kids. It's advice he has famously doled out for decades. But what is it worth? Then Peter receives a call from Stella Petrovic, an ambitious young editor who wants to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of 'Marriage Is a Canoe' with a contest for struggling couples. The prize? An afternoon with Peter and a chance to save their relationship. The contest ensnares its creator in the largely opaque politics of her publishing house while it introduces the reader to couples in various states of distress, including a shy thirtysomething Brooklynite and her charismatic and entrepreneurial husband, who may just be a bit too charismatic for the good of their marriage. There's the middle-aged publisher whose imposing manner has managed to impose loneliness on her for longer than she cares to admit. And then there is Peter, who must discover what he meant when he wrote 'Marriage Is a Canoe' if he is going to help the contest's winners and find a way to love again. In Love Is a Canoe, Ben Schrank delivers a smart, funny, romantic, and hugely satisfying novel about the fragility of marriage and the difficulty of repairing the damage when well-intentioned people forget how to be good to each other."--Publisher.
