A man, a woman--and their parasites. Marcus has felt alone since the loss of his sister and has just recently entered into the dating scene. Laura has drifted into adulthood, after bouncing through foster care.

Bonding is a funny, quirky, and honest look at love, in a world where everyone is a host to an alien".--Back cover.
