Blurb
In a world where a left swipe means you could be alone
and sexless forever and taking a chance could mean you find ‘The One’, the
question we often find ourselves asking is, what is love? When romance writer
Aastha Atray Banan found herself getting asked questions about the daily
struggles of love she decided to start a podcast, Love Aaj Kal, that dealt with
everything about love and relationships.
The L-Word is about modern love: from ghosting,
polyamory, love in the times of social media to more every-day problems like
dealing with heartbreak, infidelity and getting out of toxic relationships.
Love can be many things – sometimes intimidating,
frustrating, and often exhilarating – this book tells you how to make sense of
it.
My Take On The Book
The L Word- Love, Lust, and Everything In-Between, I
guess the title is self-explanatory of what the book is about. This is the
first book I read by the romance writer Aastha Atray Banan who found herself
getting asked questions about the daily struggles of love she decided to start
a podcast, Love Aaj Kal, that dealt with everything about love and
relationships. And here she is turning
her expertise into writing i.e 'The L Word.' The book will tell you about Love,
Lust, and everything in between. Reading the book took me back to the first
heartbreak I had, and I wished I had read it then.
Each chapter gives us an example of real-life
incidents. This read will make you feel connected and answers few doubts too.
The topics covered by the author are all related to love, heartbreak, why
people ghost, the meaning of lust, the importance of loving yourself, moving on
from a toxic relationship, and more relatable topics which Gen Z, millennial
and even Gen x will find helpful. This book is a breezy read, and the language
is easy to understand. I found myself
agreeing to most of her POV and wished there were more pages. Thankfully, I can
listen to her podcast for more such related topics. In short, this book is a
guide to love, dating, and relationship in this modern world.
It was fun and pleasant reading this one and I am sure
you will want this on your TBR list. As
the author rightly said, 'Love can be many things – sometimes intimidating,
frustrating, and often exhilarating – this book tells you how to make sense of
it.'
