Conversations
on Love
Love is not one feeling. It is a set of conversations about attention, loss, repair, friendship, desire, and choosing.
Core idea.
Lunn's interviews make love feel larger than romance. The book is useful because it treats intimacy as inquiry: ask better questions, listen without rushing to solve, and let grief, friendship, family, and desire all have a seat at the table.
