Zack Love is known for his witty rom com Sex In The Title, but with The Doorman, he has made a departure from that kind of book.

Have you ever wondered "How did they know that about me?" "How did they know that was going to happen?"

The Doorman is a thought provoking novellete that takes place between Alex and Lenny, one of the doormen at his apartment building. Their daily conversations are usually lighthearted conversations about life, the universe and everything.

But Lenny has a knack of predicting things in Alex's life ~~ too precise to be simple guesses.

In in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on New York, Alex, an agnostic to the core, questions what he believes, even confronting Lenny about a lot of things.

The Doorman makes you think. What if? How? Why. Everything happens for a reason, but is there a higher power behind what does happen?

This is a short novellete (less than an hour of your time to read), but Zack Love packs a punch into that short read.
