read by the author
A philosophical treatise on the nature of love—which could
be dry, but it’s not. Short, super readable, peppered with pop culture
references (mostly used as metaphors) which will date the book in a few more
years but for now make it a very relatable read.
The author argues that love isn’t merely a social construct nor a biological process/drive, but both. As an inveterate distruster of dichotomies, which are all too often false, I am naturally inclined to appreciate the merits of this argument; but I think she really does objectively make her case. A must-read for all of us over-thinkers, and also a great book to hand to your parents who don’t "get" whatever kind of relationship you're in.
