The collected poems and prose extracts successfully fulfill editor Adam O'Riordan's aim to capture 'some of the strangeness of the wedding day' and other aspects of our love lives. -- Chrissie Manby * Time Out * Far more, and better, than the routine Valentine's anthology...rings the bells for a garland that revives a stale genre -- Boyd Tonkin * Independent * Life is nothing without literature, whether taken in snippets...or in satisfying chunks, like the contents of the new anthology When Love Speaks...plenty to choose from in this collection -- Bel Mooney * Daily Mail * The delicate introduction makes falling in love seem like the most sensible way to spend your time * Elle * O'Riordan's fresh eyes have turned up some beautiful bits of writing * Dazed and Confused *
