In the book, Where Do We Learn to Love?, Amanda Oliveira-Telò compiles short stories discussing love and the emotions and behaviors that come with it. In one of the stories, we see a woman who falls in love with a man online. After their physical meeting, the woman feels more attracted to him and tries to hold conversations with him. However, the man begins to talk more about the problems associated with their relationship and slowly begins to treat her like their love never existed. How does this turn out?

How do we find love? Do we ever find it? Amanda shares with us certain stories that make up the bulk of the book's positive aspects. I found the stories in this book relatable. I laughed at the actions of some of the individuals, as they reminded me of certain things I have done out of love. One thing that made the book relatable was the way the author included the thoughts of the characters. It felt nice to get a glimpse of what was going on in their heads in the midst of chaos. Amanda explored love in the dating stages, the talking stages, marriages, and love expressed by people who just love from afar. The stories appeared to be written from actual experiences, and the messages within were adequately conveyed. 

The images in the book evoke deep thinking in the reader, and I loved this about the book. I also found the insertion of certain quotes relevant. While reading the book, the quotes made me think about the plausibility of the issues I noted regarding love. The author also ensured that the book was professionally edited. 

The book was amazing. However, I believe it would have been nice to have gotten the perspective of the love interests of the women in the stories. This would have helped to explain the reasons why they acted the way they did. I also felt that the addition of a male character in love with a woman would have heightened my satisfaction with the book. Besides these, I did not dislike anything else about the book. I rate the book five out of five stars. I loved a lot of things about it, and the aspects of the book that I felt needed improvement were not enough to deduct a star from my rating. While this book does not tell us where we learn to love, I believe it will be enjoyed by individuals interested in the subject of love and anyone seeking to enjoy relatable short stories.

Where do we learn to love?
It blows my mind when the word 'Love' is mentioned. Chris gives a clear breakdown of the expectations after reading the book and besides that a male character in love with a woman should be added gives a sense of love can be expressed in so many ways you just get through it and you get yourself learning from it.
We mostly desire to love appropriately but we don't know where to learn from on how to love. This would be a good read to help those in pursuit of giving another chance to love

The book reflects the fast-paced nature of modern life and and the quest of love in any type of everyday life. I enjoyed reading it. It is incredibly easy and spend quality time immersed in its captivity stories
