The Incurable Romantic

Frank Tallis, Abacus, £9.99

This popular science book on obsessive love will have you turning pages faster than you can flutter an eyelash.

Clinical psychologist Tallis offers up a shed load of cases which are as gripping as they are strange, such as the academic who falls in love with his own reflection and the barrister’s clerk who is convinced her dentist is in love with her.

OUR VERDICT 8/10
