One word—Magical. I really enjoyed this first novel. The time period, characters, and setting enveloped me. This is a story of two young illusionists who are pitted against one another by their respective teachers. The venue for this contest of endurance and skill is a circus, which is both unusual and amazing as the two illusionists make it something remarkable. Falling in love was not part of the contest, but they do fall in love while being mesmerized by each other’s creations. I enjoyed every moment of it.

"Smart, funny and endearing, Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe is also deceptively wise. When Mira's world explodes in every possible direction, she embarks on a desperate search for what is real and what is simply a mirage, ultimately discovering that the Center of the Universe is not a place, but a state of mind. Deeply drawn characters with their seams and raw edges exposed, clever dialogue, and a snappy pace makes this one terrific read!"--Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain
