I performed a sacrilegious act and watched the Netflix show before I read this book. However, I don’t think that made it any less of an enjoyable experience, especially as it dramatises only about 10% of the stories on offer.
This book comprises a huge collection of essays all about love in its many forms; from being ghosted to spousal illness to dealing with a gender change, and literally everything in between. Since each essay is penned by a new hand, you find yourself with a fresh new voice every 5-6 pages and that, coupled with the fact that each story was so short as to make you feel as though you were simply dipping a toe in the pool of their lives made for extremely compulsive reading.
Some essays resonated more with me personally than others, and I found those dealing with the highs and lows of modern dating particularly apposite, but there is merit to each and every snapshot.
A fantastic choice for those in a bit of a reading slump or those, like me, who enjoy a bit of light voyeurism into the inner mechanics of other people’s lives.
