Un libro con una serie de relatos nunca falla, hay para todos los gustos y sobre todos los temas, esa es la realidad de este ejemplar. Sobre todo, si las historias son reales y están contadas por gente común y corriente como tú y yo.
Personalmente me encanta leer libros de historias, más si son historias cotidianas de personas ordinarias, en general, es la razón por la que me gusta analizar, me gusta leer historias ajenas, no importa el género o tema, simplemente las disfruto y me dejo envolver por ellas palabra por palabra.
Una columna que aparece en el New York Times (uno de los periódicos más importante del mundo, tal vez) desde el 2004 que explora el amor y todas sus formas, a través de narraciones escritas por quienes simplemente quieren contar sus experiencias me parece una de las más puras formas de amor y empatía que existen.
Este libro es una recopilación de esas historias, las cuales tratan diversos temas relacionados con el amor y todas sus ramas, nada queda excluido de ninguna manera y todo queda muy claro en cada narración.
No voy a dar detalles de cada reflexión, pues la verdad es que vale la pena que cada quien las explore y las interprete como bien les vaya, pues las narraciones difieren en largo, tema, tipo de narración y estilo, sin embargo, cada relato está lleno de emociones que hacen sentir al lector una especie de calma y calor interior inexplicable.
En general, es un libro con historias diversas, algunas que tal vez sean memorables y otras que quizás no, igual podrías identificarte con una o dos, puede que no te identifiques con ninguna. Sin embargo es un libro de memorias sobre amor moderno que vas a disfrutar mucho y es que, no sólo explora el amor romántico, si no también, todos los tipos de amor que existen en el mundo.

The Modern Love column is my favorite part of the New York Times. And, especially now, it is the reason I open my NYT app. I loved sitting down and reading this collection, revisiting the vulnerabilities, heartaches, and triumphs of love in all its forms.

most of the stories are either hilarious or endearing. I probably really enjoyed about 90% of the stories and the other 10% were still good, just didn't love them.

These compilations of essays leave my heart feeling warm and happy, but also feeling a little lonely and empty when I finished it.

If you are like me who lives outside if the US and basically under a rock, the New York Times does a column called Modern Love. The book Modern Love: True Stories of Love, Loss and Redemption is a collection of the some of the best essays that appeared in the column over the last ten years. This is an insanely cohesive, well put together collection of essays that explores modern love in the most hilarious, deeply personal, moving, vulnerable, and heartfelt way. I could not have enough of this collection- I found myself crying at the end of some of these essays and it was beautiful!
Modern Love... what does that even mean? Well, in this collection we are privy to all the various types of love and I think that is exactly what I loved about it. We see love explored in all its various forms, from young love, parental love, sibling love, gay love, redemptive love etc. There are so many different essays that I read and it really spoke to me on a deep level. Some of these essays captured what it is like for millennials dating and trying to find love and for me, it really helps to see I am not alone.
Majority of these essays I lovr but my favorites were:
Uh, Honey, That's Not Your Line
The Five Stages of Ghosting Grief
For Best Hookup Results, Use Your Words, Ok?
When Cupid Is A Prying Journalist
Hear That Wedding March Often Enough, You Fall in Step
When Eve and Eve Bit the Apple
Truly, Madly Guilty
You May Want to Marry My Husband
Adolescence without a Roadmap
Something Like Motherhood
I loved how vulnerable and open these essays were, from the women freaking out and trying not to stare at her phone after sending a sexy message to a guy she recently met who might have ghosted her. To the woman admitting that she loves her husband more than her kids (yes! you read that right!). To the mother trying to guide her autistic son to love because, adolescence is hard as it is. To the woman serving in church and being excommunicated from said church after falling in love with another woman.... y'all- these essays are profound and deeply moving.
If you are looking for a great collection on love- THIS IS IT!!!!
Thanks Penguin RandomHouse for this copy!
