emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

I can tell this is one of those books I'll return to throughout my life. But not for the reasons I expected. I thought it would be the book's perspectives on romantic relationships that I'd need the most, and while they were definitely powerful, it was actually the book's focus on grief, the cost of love, that impacted me the most. I know I'll need this when a loved one passes, or a friendship ends, or even when my life is ending.

This is a really interesting, informative book about different perspectives on love. Lots of different types of love are explored: platonic friendship, romance, parental, and even love after death.

This book is a combination of the author's self-reflection and interviews with other people. I found it interesting to read about other people's perspectives on love through the interviews. I wish there was less self-reflection from the author, but that's just me being picky. Overall it's a great book and an important addition to literature about love!

Acabar este libro me hizo pensar en esa escena del cura de Fleabag, "love isn't something that weak people do". Habla de las capas que tiene el amor y como se encuentra en lugares donde no creemos que está pero, al final, está. Incluso en la perdida y en el duelo.

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.

*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.
