At this point in the year, some may still be trying to keep a new year’s resolution of reading more books. One book that I highly recommend is This Modern Love by Will Darbyshire. It is a compilation of letters, poems, photos, and emails provided by his You Tube viewers worldwide making this a light read for those trying to diversify their literary experiences.

The author, Will Darbyshire, is popular among many social platforms including his YouTube channels Will Darbyshire (for personal and artistic video blogs) and Vanilla (for his self-written and directed skit series), which he used to create this concept. This book is structured into several parts consisting of the writing process, photo gallery, and the three phases of love: the beginning, middle, and end.

The author asked for his viewers to answer a series of questions about love including: What would you say to your ex, without judgment? And how has technology affected your relationship? This obvious contemporary and pure style sparked over 15,000 submissions from nearly 100 countries. From its endearing poems to its blunt lines of disgust, This Modern Love is sure to prompt waves of soul crushing emotions this season.
