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'
