Essays in Love Paperback – November 9, 2012

Been a while to finish this book off, probably because it hits home so hard about falling in love, and losing your sense of identity, became part of something rather than being yourself.The book follows the "adventures" of a relationship between a girl called Chloe and the author, with the peaks and troughs that occur, with the inevitable breakup in the end, and then the self-pity and malaise that followsIt's written in a format that was unusual and tough to read at times. Short prose or essays, with numbers next to each part, but then a story of two people interweaved between it all. The prose/essays is more philosophical and goes somewhere in analysing the emotions felt during the book, while the novel part focuses solely on two people and their story.The hidden messages, the secret code, the thoughts that pervade every waking moment, the longing to not do something, and then living in the past once things are over. If you've ever been in love, or had an interest in someone (a comment to be understood once you have read the book), then you would do yourself a favour and pick this up, and read it.

Well written, I love it.
