Julie's life is going downhill. Career, family - everything collapses. Julie is a loser and is well aware of it. But Julie doesn’t know that very soon she will meet a strange and enchanting man - an unusual psychotherapist, a charming liar and a complete womanizer... Art’s life is a complete misunderstanding. There are drafts in his pockets, his brother lies in a coma, the studio is filled with unfinished sculptures, and his ex-wife suddenly decided to seduce him again. And here, just in time, a small scam turns up - to spin one gullible simpleton out of a couple of hundred... “The Love Rat” is one of those books that reminds us: laughter is often born from tears and misunderstanding - just as life is born from love. And this laughter can be surprisingly contagious. The stories of Art and Julia will have you in a pincer grip from the very first pages - and now you are caught in a trap!
