A really heartfelt collection of personal accounts of love and loss. I resonated with some more than others, but with such a varied number of stories there’s bound to be something enlightening here for everybody.

Such heartfelt tales of love and loss that make you appreciate all the good things in life as it is fleeting as we are ultimately only here for a good time and not a long one.
Natasha gives us an insight in her life with Dan, with whom she is struggling to conceive with as well as having conversations with various people along the way, in which their lives have changed and adapted once the people they love pass on.
It certainly makes you want to put your digital devices down and hug your loved ones tighter

Whilst the idea of this collection was great, I think it felt disjointed in parts. There were some I really enjoyed and other essays that weren’t to my taste.

A really nice array of stories and thoughts on a subject that is heavily saturated in the media we consume. Each voice adds something distinct and individual, and encourages you to think more deeply whilst also enjoying the ride.

Beautiful stories complied in this one book, wonderfully written and so lovely to read.
It is one that I may have to add to my ever growing book collection

A lovely book full of beautiful stories about all types of love. I loved it so much I bought a physical copy to keep!

Now don’t get me wrong, Valentine’s Day is definitely a capitalist scam that leads to insufferable ‘boy done good’ social media posts. BUT I started this book last week, reading a conversation a day and I really do just LOVE love 💜

The book is literally made up of conversations with lots of different people, including academics, authors, therapists about finding love, sustaining love, and grieving love, from loads of different perspectives (romantic, familial, friendships etc).

I’m deliriously happily married now but I spent my 20s in two genuinely horrendous relationships. This book allowed me to reflect on that (don’t we love a bit of self reflection!) affirming why I’m so deliriously happy with my husband 🥰

Some of the points that resonated most with me:
✨ We don’t have to pretend we don’t want love to be a good feminist. And this doesn’t have to be romantic love, it can come from friends and family!
✨ You appreciate the amazing relationships when you’ve experienced the awful.
✨ Love should be easy, it shouldn’t be difficult or a battle or anxiety-inducing, it should fundamentally feel like the easiest thing in the world.
✨ Showing love and romance is in the small everyday things you do for each other.

For those looking for love, those not interested in romantic love, those already in love, pick up this book - there’s something for everyone! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for my copy 🧡

Such a great exploration of love, in it's many forms, by many writers I admire. I enjoy it as a bedside companion and dip in and out of it. Thought provoking and stimulates my own reflections on love. Such a nice gift too.

This was a great read. I loved the presentation and the subject, with some names I rate giving their opinions.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this! Heart-warming and serious, thought-provoking and encouraging all at the same time, Conversations on Love is a fab read. The exploration around loss, particularly miscarriage, is rare and much-needed. Really glad to have read this book!

I love love loved this book and have already bought it for a friend. It’s the perfect gift for so many people in your life. I have also had some really interesting conversations with others who have also read this.

Natasha’s observations and reflections after each interview are so insightful and really helped to bring the everything together and helped me to focus my own thoughts on the interviews.

Loved it.

Such a beautiful book full of stories of love, perfect read and fantastic gift for friends! Fascinating insights into peoples life and loves.

Sometimes a book comes along right when you need it. I had initially been avoiding picking this up, in my perpetual singledom I didn't want to read what I thought was a smug-married talking to other smug-marrieds about how great marriage is. But I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did because my assumptions were SO wrong.
Natasha Lunn is not just interested in romantic love, but all kinds of love - friendship, siblings, parental, as well as between partners. She talks to a wide range of thinkers about learning how to love, finding friendship, maintaining relationships and coping with loss, mixed in with elements of her own experiences to show what motivated her journey to explore love in all its forms.
This book helped me to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of love. It encouraged me to invest more in my friendships and be braver. It also helped me on my journey of self-acceptance and self-love, which are essential if we want to show love to others.

received in exchange for an honest review

A thoughtful book about love. It includes interviews with an eclectic collection of writers together with reflections of the authors own experiences.

A really beautiful look into all sorts of love, I absolutely loved this book and recommend it often, such a sweet gift idea.

This was incredible. I started it a while ago but then came back to it and it feels like it was meant to be read at this moment of my life. Can’t recommend it enough.

This is very much like a big magazine or advice column which isn't what I expected going in but I ended up really engaging with it.

This collection explores all.types of love - familial, romantic and all the positive and negative aspects that come with these. There are some heavy topics such as miscarriage, loss and betrayal commented on in this collection, so perhaps go into this aware of that.

Expect reflections based on interviews from names you know in writing - Carty Williams and Lisa Taddeo and for these to change the way you see them - in an entirely humanistic way.

Enjoyed this so much! Really beautifully written. A moving book about love in its many forms and the complexities is throws our way. Would recommended this book to anyone interested in human relationships and how they impact us

A wonderfully thought provoking look at love in all its forms. It could very well be the guide we need to help us create more human connection in a disconnected world.

I'm a big fan of Natasha's newsletter of the same name, so was very happy to be approved for the eARC of this title - thanks to NetGalley & PRH.

Just a wonderful book examining all kinds of love. I imagine this one I'll come back to through my life and get something different each time.
