4.0

a lot of this book was overshadowed by the authors grief over not having a child which is something that i couldn’t relate to but i still think this book is something that everyone should read in their 20’s or 30’s or even older. Understanding love is an important part of having it.

Didn't like the end, it became a bit boring to me but maybe because it was less relatable than the first 2/3 of the book

It's odd, because there is nothing groundbreaking or brand new said here. We know how important love is, and how loss is an inevitable part of life. And yet.

I didn't even make it halfway through on audio before I knew I needed to purchase this.

I will return after rereading with actual passages I want to note down, but here's what I plan to do with this book, physically: Underline, highlight, and annotate everything that you find worth saying to a friend or spouse, a sibling or a partner. Then give it to them, and let them read it.

I will be returning to this book often.

I listened to the audiobook which I didn’t think did the book justice. The format seemed like it had gone from a conversation, to being transcribed for the book, back to a conversation as a re-recording  for the audiobook and it just felt a bit robotic. The parts where it was interview style came across really unnatural and forced. Made to sound like a natural conversation that clearly wasn’t. 

The overall writing of the book was beautiful. Very sad. Not for me at this time and I’d warn others to check the triggers. I’m not someone who feels I need to check for trigger warnings but chapters of this book felt extremely depressing to me.

*always reads fiction about love*
*reads non-fiction for once*
the non-fiction:


Jokes aside, this book is everything. So much sensibility, empathy and wisdom. One of my new favorite books for sure.
