In Conversations on Love, Natasha Lunn explores three big themes: How do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it?. This book is a collection of all equally-inspiring interviews that will remind you that love is fragile, and it's a thing worth fighting for. In between the interviews, we get Lunn’s personal stories of love and loss, including a miscarriage that left her feeling hopeless at times. I highlighted so many passages in the book, and found this one particularly interesting:

“When I was searching for love in my twenties, there seemed to be two types of people who were looking for romantic relationships: those who easily fell into them and were content in the spaces between when they were - albeit briefly - single. And those who found falling in love an impossible task, who couldn’t seem to find happiness on their own, but couldn’t get past the starting-block stage of a relationship either”.

A celebration of love in all its forms, featuring conversations with:
Philippa Perry on falling in love slowly
Candice Carty-Williams on friendship
Alain de Botton on the psychology of being alone
Dolly Alderton on vulnerability
Emily Nagoski on the science of sex
Diana Evans on parenthood
Lisa Taddeo on the loneliness of loss
Esther Perel on unrealistic expectations
Stephen Grosz on accepting change
Roxane Gay on redefining romance
and many more

Exactly what the description of the book describes, a perfect, light-hearted and completely relatable read. This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

This book is a detailed look into the different types of love as shown through interviews plus the authors own personally narrative. A lot of difficult subjects are raised in a way that I found impactful.
