RaveThe Independent (IRE)Like all good first-person writing, Lunn’s dilemmas strike a fairly universal note that will resonate with many readers ... While in part Conversations in Love feels like an extensively researched self-help book on how to understand and navigate love, it will also act as a sort of comfort blanket for anyone (all of us?) who have felt exposed, or in some way lacking, in our romantic encounters. The it’s-not-just-me factor of a memoir ... The interview with Roxane Gay on redefining romance is one of the most compelling in the book, not surprisingly, given Gay’s talents as a writer ...Given the impressive breadth of the interviews, Lunn is well placed to draw some interesting conclusions on our behaviour in and around love ... [Lunn] writes movingly ... Part guidebook, part memoir, this moving and informative collection that will bring readers – in or out of love – a sense of comfort.
