hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

This book gives a broad insight into human connection and the variety of love. I liked the many voices that spoke in agreement but also shed light on aspects that might seem contradictory but make up the complex nature of love. At times, some passages felt rather trivial (which can be hard to avoid when talking about life lessons), but especially the second and third part of the book spoke to me. This read definitely made me more susceptible to/aware of the love around (an important reminder every now and then).

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

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!
