How to Love: A Guide to Feelings & Relationships for Everyone

A brilliantly witty and wise illustrated guide to relationships for teens – by the hugely popular webcomic artist and creator of Oh No!

Isn’t it wonderful when love strikes? When you encounter someone beautiful and interesting and suddenly: feelings. But what do you do when that first crush squashes you flat, when sparks fly but fizzle out, when you and your other half just don’t click together?

Enter How to Love! Your funny, wise and very different guide to relationships of all shapes and sizes, covering topics from singlehood to jealousy to happily ever after – all delivered in Alex Norris’s clever, accessible and bright graphic style.

Full colour throughout and in an Agony Aunt format, with each chapter posed as a question – answered in comic book form. Inclusive of all genders and sexualities, and created by a queer non-binary artist.

How to Love is a book that we can get through in one sitting, but it is also one to be revisited as you grow... The flat, bold and fun comics, filled with endearing anthropomorphic characters, are a testament to Alex’s desire to offer accessible and universal notions of loving and living. It's Nice That
An inclusive guide to love in all its many forms. The Bookseller
“Joyous, funny and heartwarming. [...] This delightful non-fiction graphic novel is a guide to relationships that is perfect for teenagers who are just embarking on their love lives.” -- Charlotte Eyre The Bookseller
A warm and witty relationship guide in graphic novel form... Written from a queer perspective but really celebrating individual differences, and all genders and orientations, this feels genuinely inclusive and to be asking just the sort of questions that young people have, as they navigate all sorts of relationships including friendships as well as romantic liaisons... Full of humour, positivity and warmth and almost embarrassingly accurate at times, this is a really accessible, sensible and valuable addition to any home or library. LoveReading4Kids
The initial simplicity of cartoonist Alex Norris’s non-fiction work How to Love ends up saying an awful lot of smart things about navigating relationships – both romantic and platonic – in a series of comic strip sequences… Cute, yes, but also thoughtful. Irish Times
