Poets, philosophers and artists have been trying to explain romantic love for centuries, but it remains one of the most complex and intimidating terrains to navigate. Most people are afraid to be open and honest about their relationships until now.

For Love Factually, Laura Mucha has interviewed hundreds of strangers, from the ages of 8 to 95 in more than 40 countries, asking them to share their most personal stories, feelings and insights about love. These intimate and illuminating conversations raised important questions, such as:

• How does your upbringing influence your relationships?
• Does love at first sight exist? Should you 'just know'?
• What should you look for in a partner?
• Is monogamy natural? - Why do people cheat?
• How do you know when it's time to walk away?

'Laura Mucha has found the proof that love actually is all around.' Richard Curtis
