Recommend me a book that will make me start being open to the idea of love again.

Not too sound /r9k/ as fuck but is there a great novel that writes about the beauty and possibility of true love.

>idea of love
you're going down a really shitty road. it's a surefire way to be thinking about the 3rd act when you're in the 1st act.
also true love suggests there is untrue love which is such a big load of bullshit. people might pretend to love but that's obviously not love and really quite the opposite. the only reason why love is misunderstood or contested as a concept is because most people can't deal with the fact that it's pure bliss and fucking terrifying at the same time.

This graph just means the first time you touched a boob or got your dick touched. It proves nothing about finding long term partner.
