Reviews
"The Careful Undressing of Love is a book you relax into. For the first few pages, you're picky, trying to sort Haydu's magical world from our real one, and then it just takes you over. It's weird until it's not, and then it's an examination of love and legacy and family, and the things girls do when we back them into corners and blame them for being there in the first place."--#1 New York Times bestselling author E. K. Johnston "Haydu explores such themes as differingexpressions of grief, destiny versus free will, the unexamined expectation thata girl will love a boy, and the interrelation (or lack thereof ) between sex and love.The slight magical realism and parallel-world setting add to this wrenching novel's lyricism--and make the pain somewhat easier to bear."-- The Horn Book Magazine "A carefully layered exploration of the age-old question, "Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?"-- Kirkus "Both straightforward and lyrical, this is a compelling read, a decidedly ambiguous portrayal of love that will resonate with those tired of formulaic romances." --Booklist "Heartbreakingly beautiful and haunting, Haydu holds your heart in her hands as you travel through the pages of this story."--Romantic Times, Top Pick. "The Careful Undressing of Love is sad and strange and beautiful. I will be marveling over Corey Ann Haydu's writing for days to come."--Johanna Albrecht, bookseller at Flyleaf Books, Chapel Hill, NC. Praise for Corey Ann Haydu ★ "Haydu explores a sweet, unconventional romance alongside her characters' well-known (but little-understood) disorder. Heartwarming, frequently funny, and wholly honest, this debut novel is, well, compulsively readable." -- Horn Book , starred review of OCD Love Story ★ "Witty, affecting, and ferociously individual." -- BCCB , starred review of OCD Love Story "Tender, wise, and heartbreakingly lovely, this story is as brilliant as a stolen star, and every bit as magical. Prepare to be enchanted." -- Katherine Applegate, Newbery-award winning author on Rules for Stealing Stars ★ "Haydu masterfully portrays the stress of living with an alcoholic parent.... A well-crafted blend of realism and fantasy. Give to fans of Holly Goldberg Sloan's Counting By 7s and Sarah Weeks's So B It ." - School Library Journal, starred review of Rules for Stealing Stars, Praise for Corey Ann Haydu ★ "Haydu explores a sweet, unconventional romance alongside her characters' well-known (but little-understood) disorder.

Synopsis
The girls of Devonairre Street have always been told they're cursed. Any boy they love is certain to die too soon. But this is Brooklyn in 2008, and the curse is less a terror and more a lifestyle accessory--something funky and quaint that makes the girls from the shortest street in Brooklyn special. They wear their hair long and keys around their necks. People give them a second look and whisper "Devonairre" to their friends. But it's not real. It won't affect their futures. Then Jack-- their Jack, the one boy everyone loved--dies suddenly and violently. And now the curse seems not only real, but like the only thing that matters. All their bright futures have suddenly gone dark. The Careful Undressing of Love is a disturbing and sensual story of the power of youth and the boundless mysteries of love set against the backdrop of Haydu's brilliantly reimagined New York City., The girls of Devonairre Street have always been told they're cursed.
