The Amateur Science of Love by Craig Sherborne

3.0

Would like to give it 3.5 stars as it was a compelling and interesting read about two flawed people and their flawed relationship in which neither of them are fulfilled but they stay anyway. A novel about choices, youth, entitlement and morality as well as love. It's complicated and messy as life and love are. I liked the writing but I didn't like the characters (apart from Mr vigourman, he was hilarious). I listened to an interview with Craig Sherborne about this book and about fictionalising your own life which inspired me to read it in the first place and which i would recommend listening to before reading. It places the book in a helpful context and hence I got more out of it than I otherwise would have.
