1st cover. I'm assuming the graphic in the back is the back of a sofa or a pillow. That gets to the come together but the fall apart not so sure although the lack of it obviously fits the bill. Anyway overall another nice solid visual piece in that sort of hyper real look you covet. 6/10

Your second cover is nice it gives a bit of flavor to what kind of stories are in the book and the division of colors mirrors the text nicely. I also like the color choice and the slight graininess goes well with the clothing style of the dancers. Very easily see this on a book in Barnes and Nobles. 7/10

I like the last cover it's real departure from all the other stuff you've done. The heart gives all the obvious associations which fits well with the title, obviously this is a book with short stories about relationships. Otherwise all the other elements from the text style to the color choice don't really make sense to me, why did you choose them? I would be interested to know. 7/10

love the first and second of these.

in other words, the bed and the dancers.

the third, red i find too dense to want to penetrate.

also, a bit cold.

not the feeling i would expect from the title.

like the title treatment on the first two.

think the author typography needs to be addressed.

don't want to dismiss the iconic heart cover altogether.

it's just not working in a sensual way for me.

maybe that's what you intended?

love.
