★★☆☆☆
I chose this book because I wanted to read all of Preeti Shenoy’s books. Since I have already read couple of her books, I can say that this book doesn’t have her touch. It is a bunch of articles written for Financial Chronicles column Sex and The City. The books talks about various love — relationship issues. It is obvious that the author has spent a lot of time on researching for this book. This book let you know of various problems that exist in love relationships. As the book covers so many sections in so few pages, I think the author doesn’t have space to give in-depth explanations and solutions.
After reading few chapters, I thought I would pick the movies and books mentioned in this book and share. There are quite a number of mentions about songs, research papers, arts but they are little alien to me :) I don’t have any takeaway from this book apart from knowing there tons of issues exist.
