Don't Tell Me The Truth About Love Reviews

By the time you find the story you most relate to, you won't be sorry to be alone after all. * * The Sun * *
...bittersweet yet absurdly magical stories that will pull at your heart strings. By forcing the hitherto unobservable, he shows us an unknown world. ... it's frequently hilarious, and certainly memorable. ...the story turns into a moving dissertation upon the nature and profundity of romantic love, and the all but unbearable effect of its loss......Not until the end do you realise just how good this book is, haunting you long after it has been put down. "For all the picturebook simplicity of Rhodes' storytelling his characters are rarely less than credible, and the emotion genuine. * * The Times * *
