From Rachida: I have been following Natasha since her Conversations on Love newsletter that was the beginning of this book. Natasha is a master interviewer which is why this book is so interesting. She asked all the questions I had built up in my head over many years of relationships and I was left with some golden nuggets of wisdom.
One of the many bonuses of this book is that it also tackles platonic love - the dynamic between friends, especially friends that are at different stages in their lives, and how to manage feelings of envy or jealousy.
Reading this book felt liberating and made me realise that so many things I thought I knew about love were simply myths. This book made me look back on my relationships with a new level of understanding and compassion towards others and also myself.

'One of this summer's most buzzed about books (and one that might just change your life)' Sunday Times
After years of feeling that love was always out of reach, journalist Natasha Lunn set out to understand how relationships work and evolve over a lifetime. She turned to authors and experts to learn about their experiences, as well as drawing on her own, asking: How do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it?
In Conversations on Love she began to find the answers:
Philippa Perry on falling in love slowly
Dolly Alderton on vulnerability
Stephen Grosz on accepting change
Candice Carty-Williams on friendship
Lisa Taddeo on the loneliness of loss
Diana Evans on parenthood
Emily Nagoski on the science of sex
Alain de Botton on the psychology of being alone
Esther Perel on unrealistic expectations
Roxane Gay on redefining romance
and many more...
