This book was a waste. So much of it could have been condensed into simply 20-30 pages. Most of the book is a exploration into the author's personal experiences which I could personally care less about. She touts her degree and her experiences as a way to show her specialized insight into the topic of love, but then ends up giving a pretty standard definition of love. Book boils down to, love is created by genetic components from dopamine and hugging chemicals. Then the social influences from society inform how love looks in a sense.
