How to Love: A Guide to Feelings & Relationships for Everyone
Age 13+
Cartoons & Comic Strips Personal & Social Issues: Sexuality & Relationships
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.

The Bookseller
How to Love is super quirky, which makes it all the more fun to read. It’s the sort of book you can dip in and out of, yet I found myself quite taken in. Norris’s cartoon-like illustrations, which are simple, yet bright and playful, work beautifully, and perfectly support Norris’s words, making it a very digestible read. This wise and funny book helpsus understand and think about what makes us feel things, and come to terms with those feelings, all the while discovering and learning who we are. Guess what, we’re are all just normal.Great messages, really great book. I just wish I had a copy when I was a teenager.

Refreshing, funny, and comforting.
Kirkus Reviews
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.
