Simply stunning; I am moved. Natasha Lunn is truly a writer to be admired. I feel her writing in my soul. I feel understood witnessing her words. I learned in this book, that that in and of itself is a type of love connection. Love is boundless, and so beautiful, and so painful, and this book truly captures every facet of all that experiencing love can do to us. Never is any one experience the same, but we are unified by them nonetheless. I think this is a book everyone can learn from, and should be on some required reading lists. There's the added bonus that if you enjoy a particular interview, that person likely has their own book and/or other medium that delves further into their worlds. Incredible!

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 :)
