Geometry of Love — Jessica Levine

Julia, an aspiring poet, is living with her British boyfriend, Ben, a restrained Princeton professor, when she runs into Michael, a long-lost friend. A complex and compelling composer, Michael was once a catalyzing muse for her -- but his return to her life is a destabilizing influence.



Julia is drawn to Michael, but feels enormous guilt at the thought of betraying Ben -- not to mention fear at the idea of giving up the security of her relationship with him. So, when Michael signals that he's too wounded to make a commitment, she turns her triangular situation into a square: she sets him up with her cousin.



Why is it easier for a woman to be a muse than to have one? Are security and imagination mutually exclusive? Can one be fully creative -- in art or life -- without the inspiration of erotic love? These are the questions asked in The Geometry of Love, a provocative and deeply psychological tale that explores the surprising choices we make in our romantic lives.
