A very interesting (and often funny) book about the way we envision love nowadays and the problems caused by technology and the “false abundance” caused by it. This book gives an unique outlook on the way our generation search for love, fall in love, break-up, envision the fact to settle down, ... and also set several parallels with previous generations in an interesting way.

“Since our expectations are so high, today people are quick to break things off when their relationship doesn't meet them. [...] You conclude there's something wrong with the person or the relationship since it isn't as exciting as before. So you break up, without ever giving companionate love a chance to bloom.”
