review 1: Interesting subject and a quick read. Covers the evolution behind kissing, why we kiss, how we kiss and what happens when we kiss. I enjoyed the chapters that discussed the biology behind kissing:For instance, cortisol levels, which determine our stress levels, decrease after kissing. Good way to combat stress!And kissing unlocks oxytocin, the hormone that makes us bond and keeps us bonded, keeps us attached, and keeps us connected. Kiss away!
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. It was scientific without being too hard to read/follow. The author presents information about one of the most overlooked things in our life: kissing. She includes studies, research, and even history on the evolution of the kiss. One chapter even mentions a study that she conducted... more herself to answer questions about kissing for her book. It was very well-written but started to lack good content by the end of the book. However, it is still a book I would recommend to anyone! less
