How We Met, A`Court Michele

Stand-up comedian Michele ACourt rekindles the passion, with a brilliant collection of How We Met stories.

How We Met is based on a collection of How We Met stories - those lovely stories couples love to tell (and we all love to hear) about how they got together. The authors theory: that these stories of how couples meet - the romantic, absurd, serendipitous, convoluted, scandalous, breath-taking moments of connection - help to weave their lives together. Partly as proof that they were meant to begin this couple-journey, and also because in each retelling they go back to those first falling-in-love feelings and rekindle the passion.

The theory is based on a hunch, which itself is based on nothingmore than the authors observations of watching couples as they talk. Michele then tests her thesis out on a neuroscientist and a psychologist, and by the end of the book, has some useful things to say not only about how great love starts, but how it stays great.
