An amazing book on the realities of love in a relationship's cycle. The feelings, insecurities, fun, communication and everything that is a part of it. Got a little too sophisticated at some points, but overall I'd recommend.
Thank you Nikita for the recommendation.
Although sometimes bored by the self-deprecating and laborious-thinking narrator, I found many glimpses of enlightenment in this brief novel. Every lover who has read this book might wonder which chapter their love story is in now. With each chapter, you will see your assumptions about love in general and dating culture in particular challenged, and for good reasons. I'd like to think of this novel as a literal introduction to the subject of love as Sophie's World is an outright beginner's course in philosophy. As such, perhaps it is better not to read this book for the plot as you will be in a massive boredom trying to find action in the dense paragraphs of Alain de Botton.
Definitely would read again some time.
Very interesting and intelligent story, albeit sad in the sense that no love ever lasts and all of them can be thus scrutinized...
