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.
