LOVE WALKED IN
[An] intelligent, warmhearted fairy tale for grown-ups.
The Washington Post
At the heart of Marisa de los Santoss debut novel is the improbable and touching relationship that develops between an eleven-year-old girl and the woman her estranged father is dating. Love indeed walks in, and with it, a breath of fresh air.
Marie Claire (chosen for the 10 best to do)
A heartwarming, original, old-soul romance.
New York Post
Smart, funny writing about the risks we take for love.
Redbook
Cornelia as narrator is insightful, witty, and fun[and] Love Walked In is a sassy, modern love story, with passages of beautiful human wisdom.
The Portland Oregonian
Charismatic language and a compelling Philadelphia setting are two of the delights of this joyously real novel. Constructed with a loving touch that doesnt feel deliberate so much as exactly right, this novel will make readers believe in love in all its permutations. Cornelia describes the young girl, Clare, as brave and loving and smart and full of hope. Those words also describe this novel.
Romantic Times Book Club
An impossibly warm, acute, romantic spree, with room in its heart for all of us. Marisa de los Santos offers us two fine young heroines, Cornelia and Clare, and she trains a rich, brimming, silver-screen light on their sorrows and elations. Since Love Walked In borrows so magically from the spirit of a certain Frank Capra film, Ill second the motion: Its a Wonderful Novel.
David Schickler, author of Sweet and Vicious and Kissing in Manhattan
Love Walked In is a brilliant novelbeautiful, hilarious, rich in detail and cultural commentary. While an expos of our desires for old-world romance, elegant leading men, and the perfect shoes, this novel is also a bone-deep examination of inner lives, the bonds between women, and the prospects of borderline madness.
Julianna Baggott, author of Girl Talk, The Miss America Family , and The Madam
De los Santos has done an amazing job fully fleshing out these people so that you cant help but love them. Love Walked In is full of beautiful turns of phrase, funny banter that works, and sweeping emotional situations.
gwendabond.typepad.com
Not only a winning love story, but an homage to classic films as well.
Pages
Two heroines, Clare Hobbes and Cornelia Brown, discover the power of friendship and the meaning of love in this remarkable tale. Delos Santoss writing engages throughout this powerful story. Its impossible not to cheer for these characters as they search for happiness. A timeless gem.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Poet de los Santoss debut is a light, sweet read.

[Cornelia and Clare] enact a cross-generational, strong-but-vulnerable-and-loving, screenplay-ready femininity.

For David Teague
Youre the Nile
Youre the Tower of Pisa
My lifemy real lifestarted when a man walked into it, a handsome stranger in a perfectly cut suit, and, yes, I know how that sounds. My friend Linny would snort and convey the kind of multi-pronged disgust I rely on her to convey. One prong of feminist disgust at the whole idea of a man changing a womans life, even though, as things turned out, the man himself was more the harbinger of change than the change itself. Another prong of disgust for the inaccuracy of saying my life began after thirty-one years of living it. And the final prong being a kind of general disgust for the way people turn moments in their lives into movie moments.
