'This book might just change your life' Sunday Times

'Wise, wonderful, moving and brilliant... will leave your heart in a much better place' Stylist

After years of feeling that love was always out of reach, journalist Natasha Lunn set out to understand how relationships work and evolve over a lifetime. She turned to authors and experts to learn about their experiences, as well as drawing on her own, asking: How do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it?

In Conversations on Love she began to find the answers:

Philippa Perry on falling in love slowly
Dolly Alderton on vulnerability
Stephen Grosz on accepting change
Candice Carty-Williams on friendship
Lisa Taddeo on the loneliness of loss
Diana Evans on parenthood
Emily Nagoski on the science of sex
Alain de Botton on the psychology of being alone
Esther Perel on unrealistic expectations
Roxane Gay on redefining romance

and many more...

I had great expectations for this book, based on the blurb and reviews. But it superceded them by far! The range of types of love and stages of life and the various personalities.... I resonated with some, empathised with and learnt from others. I feel this is a book which speaks to everyone. During and after listening to it I wanted to share it with my loved ones. If you are psychologically minded, don't hesitate to take the journey with this book and all the people you will meet in it.

Transformative

So insightful and will make you feel incredibly grateful to be loved and alive.

Best audiobook I've heard in a long time

Conversations about sibling love really hit home for me and also the author's take on miscarriages was written in a way that was relatable which I think should be done more as it's such a taboo subject

Love more
