When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists' research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she'd read about--where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions--and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. "Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us" ( Booklist ), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. "Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with--or curious about--the challenges of contemporary courtship" ( The Toronto Star ).
