Helped help me figure out my own problems

Love at first sight is a great book that has literally helped me out with how I act in certain situations when it comes to love. There is a lot of information in this book that helps the reader understand how love effects us and how our brain works with our emotions. I've told people I care about that the reason I don't know how to deal with certain situations is a lot of it comes from my past for how I do deal with them. The book states it that emotions are identified by comparing memories with the situation at hand. If you are having any troubles in your life in the areas of understanding why you love people that you love, this will truly help you out.

I fell in love with this book- at first sight

I knew it existed! Everyone told me I was crazy, but when you've experienced it- you know. People used to tease me for my romantic beliefs, but this book proves that I am as logical as they come- and perhaps more aware to my surroundings. I feel sorry for all those who may have missed it- but by reading this book you may actually be prepared for when it happens to you. If you don't believe in it- it won't happen to you!
