LOVE!: An Enthusiastic and Modern Perspective on Matters of the Heart by Zoë Foster Blake

3.0

I love Zoë Foster Blake and I loved this book. I wish I had it 5 years ago. She spits out some hard truths which are things we’ve all probably read or heard before, but coming from Zoë it feels like it’s coming from a close friend who sincerely cares about you. Her writing style is so engaging. She is upfront, honest, raw, and I found myself constantly laughing and ‘uh-huh’ing along. It’s definitely a light and easy read, however, despite being a book titled ‘Love!’, it only really deals with one kind of love - heterosexual romantic love - and I think it would have been really great to have had a wider concept of love explored deeper including the platonic love found between friends, family, and coworkers etc. as these are often some of our longest and complex relationships.
