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.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin General UK, Fig Tree for the opportunity to read Conversations On Love by Natasha Lunn. I have given this book four out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Raw, emotional conversations that reflect upon love, grief, family, friends and much more. I thought it was really interesting to read all about the different types of love there is in the world from the conversations Natasha Lunn had with featured guests throughout this book. It definitely made me think more about what love is and the different ways love can be/is shown from being a young child all the way through to your adulthood. 

It was fascinating to read people’s interpretations of what experiences and beliefs on love they have and I thought it would be a good book for anyone who is intrigued by interview styled non-fiction books based on love to pick up and read.

I received an e-book copy for free from the publishers and NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Wow, what can I say about this. It covers so many areas of love; Romantic, Sibling, Friends, Children, Parental & Self. Whilst also covering areas of grief and loss.

There were so many areas of this book that just resonated with me and I cannot wait to recommend this to friends, family and strangers.

Throughout this book Natasha reflects on her own experiences whilst also conducting interviews with various other people; authors, doctors, psychoanalysts. Which really helps with the diversity of the subject matter.

I will pre-warn you there is discussion about death, miscarriage and slight discussions of relationship abuse.

Some of my standout moments of this book are:

'If I don't message for a few days, in's not because I don't care, it's because I'm a bit overwhelmed. Or sometimes because depression makes me feel I don't have anything interesting to say.'

'We achieve love by overcoming our narcissism.'

'Acknowledging your brokenness, pain and insufficiency is a rather romantic thing to do'
