The short story format in "Loverless Love" sounds like such a refreshing take! It's like getting a sneak peek into different love stories without diving into a long novel. Just finished the first one with Tina and Daniel, and it was awesome! Thank you for sharing this amazing review.

An important aspect of human nature is sexuality. I am excited to read the short stories because they will all be told from a different perspective and will cover every topic, including psychological and emotional ramifications.

Loverless Love is a collection of stories about human relationships and sexuality, however the books is not about the physical implications of sex, instead it goes into a deep search of what motives it.

Thank you for a great review. I would like to know more of the complex human nature of love and sex, as your well written review indicates that the author addresses these using different angles. Reading anthology works will be a first for me with this book, I just hope that I won't miss the point of each story

I'm in two minds about this book. I don't like short stories but it seems like they somehow are entwined with each other. Then I don't mind sexual content but I also don't like it when it overpowers the story, which seems to be the case here. I'll start reading it and see how far I get as I guess it's worth a try. Thanks for an excellent review full of detail. Congrats on BOTD.

Human relationships are inherently tied to sex. This presumably act of love invokes different emotions to the participants. It is complex and only a true master of writing like Christopher Guerin can represent it in its purest raw form.

Loverless Love

I enjoyed this read. What stood out for me is the different forms of love and it being broken down. Being able to decipher what real love is a something that our generation struggles with until later on in life. I enjoy educational stories such as this.

Human relations, desires , greed and every other aspect portrayed nicely.
sometimes you will feel the situation just resembles your own life and you will be eager to turn the pages
each short story has different flavor and point of view.

Love, sexuality and being human are, to put it mildly, confusing topics. Loverless Love by Christopher Guerin Is a series of short stories that approach these topics from many different perspectives with a wide array of characters.
The reviewer found the book engaging, enlightening and recommended it to mature readers who may want to read about as many aspects of love as possible.

The fact that each story covered but was long enough to fully flesh out characters and short enough for the readers not to feel bored or get wary of the length of the chapters is an important characteristic of a book that is a collection of stories. I really look forward to reading this masterpiece.

This is a beautiful concept, an effective way to throw light on love, lust and sex - subjects that are of much interest to people - from different angles. Thank you for the review.
