# The Course of Love

Novel about modern relationships, with all the real challenges and every day issues.

I loved the style of the book. It had this one unique trick. After some situation there would be explanation from the author - basically the lesson learned from that particular situation. I loved it, because a lot of fiction works sometimes difficult for me to absorb and extract the lessons.

However, beside this clever idea of author’s remarks I don’t think novel worked for me. I wasn’t able to relate to the main male character.
