Why We Love the Way We Do

Is it possible to tell if it is love or lust? How important is sex in a relationship? Why do break-ups hurt so much? How often should you message a person you fancy? How do you tell if someone is too young or too old for you?
When it comes to relationships, these are the questions that most of us ponder. No matter how young or old we are, we are all looking for ways to make our relationships better. The best way to do that is to understand what makes us behave the way we do.
Why We Love the Way We Do is a collection of essays on relationships based on Preeti Shenoy's hugely popular columns in a national daily, in which the bestselling novelist discusses some of these issues and questions that people in relationships, or those hoping to be in one, face. The topics range from those particular to our modern, technology-filled world (how to move from an online relationship to a real-life one, how to find and keep love online, whether casual sex is worth the effort or not) to those immortal issues (such as how men and women communicate differently, how to deal with a broken heart and how jealousy ruins a relationship) that trouble every heart.
Filled with wonderful insights, sharp observations, humour and real-life examples, and written in her trademark lucid style, Preeti Shenoy brings to this book a perceptiveness about love and friendship that has made her the country's highest-selling woman writer. "
