"Kalopsia," a word meaning "the delusion of things being more beautiful
than they actually are," is what happens to us when we think we've
fallen in love. Almost-love Stories is a collection of four short
stories that almost ended well. Love isn't the way romance novels make
it seem. Happily ever after doesn't exist and love is blind, but perhaps
we should open our eyes.
Hannah Gordon got her first taste of writing when her mother bought her
a Harry Potter diary, which she eventually lost, but it inspired in her
a need to write stories more exciting than her own life. She is
currently studying Communications and Creative Writing at The University
of Michigan, which is better than Political Science, which she
considered until her government teacher told her that was an awful idea.
Among other things, Hannah is a cat lover, a cancer survivor, a gif
enthusiast, and a compulsive coffee drinker. She hopes to keep writing
and never work a real job, but that is an errant dream, one which her
parents would surely never approve of.
