"Falling in Love is the first book to unlock the mysteries of how and why we fall in love.".

"Falling in Love shows us that we both consciously and unconsciously select those with whom we fall in love. Citing the most important studies on love and relationships, Pines looks at how such factors as arousal, beauty, and character affect how and who we choose to love.

She uses her extensive clinical research with hundreds of couples, explaining what goes on in our unconscious minds when we fall in love and details how forgotten childhood experiences surface later in our adult love lives."--BOOK JACKET.
