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

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.

for me, this book is not one to read in one sitting. it’s a series of interviews ruminating on what love is, means, and how it has shifted in aftermath of the interviewees’ lives. i think the structure as well as the questions asked can get a bit repetitive, hence why i don’t recommend reading this in one sitting.

but i had highlighted so many good quotes that gave me food for thought. all sections were pretty strong, but it was the last part regarding loss that really struck a chord with me and made me emotional.

i enjoyed the author’s input but i felt her transitions between interviews with her thoughts were a bit short. i think she’s a great writer and i wish we got more insight from her inbetween about the interviews and how it affected her! i do appreciate how diverse her interviewees were though. i read this on e-book but i may purchase a physical copy to revisit the quotes that really stood out to me :)
