Synopsis "On the Brink of Bliss and Insanity (in English)"
ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year Award Winner: Best Romance"Not quite sure how Cerasoli jumped inside my brain, but you must experience this refreshing for-once-in-my-life-someone-understands-me moment for yourself. Brink is one of the best damn books I've ever read!"-Tish Ciravolo, Founder and President, Daisy Rock Girl GuitarsDon't judge a book by its cover-at least until you meet the younger brother.... At Chez Sol, where Annie is the sous-chef, her boss grabs her ass for the tenth time-but this time really holds on-leading her to discover a new use for a vat of paté, jettisoning him into oblivion and her out of a job....En route to needing "cold arms over no arms," she races home to her live-in beau, arguably the most charming prick on the planet, to find him with another woman. At this point, Annie discovers what it feels like to wade below the surface of rock bottom; it's like suffocating without the involuntary struggle for air. And then she meets Billy, a soulful petty thief who rolls with the punches, literally. And this gets her thinking about the art of letting go and taking chances.Add barbed witticisms from Annie's cousin, Foster, an angry acupuncturist, and cute quips from her two sadomasochistic best buddies, and watch as reckless desperation turns to blind fearlessness in this modern-day tale where love is lost found, whined & dined, but mostly redefined.MORE REVIEWS-"Sex, music, tequila, religion, crime, mary jane.... Finally, far-fetched fiction meets in-your-face reality in this sardonic, wry, laugh-till-you-cry comedy."-Cory Schuelke, CFO, Windswept Music"Masterfully told through a flawed protagonist and irreverent cast of characters, this exhilarating ride makes you wince and laugh simultaneously at the brutal honesty of love and adulthood-and how not to handle them."-Bill Hinkle, Producer, Secret Lives of Women, WE NetworkLike J.D. Salinger for his generation and Bret Easton Ellis for the 80s, Lisa Cerasoli writes with a wit and frank honesty that cuts you to the core. -Sean Madden, Producer, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment
