In the fast paced world we live in, forming and sustaining relationships is difficult. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, there has been a 35% spike in divorce cases all over the world due to the lock down. Having a blissful romance is not an easy task these days. Love has become text messages and phone calls. Love has become Instagram posts, Snapchat and staring at a screen. Love has become more about hook ups and swiping right and left on dating apps instead of having an emotional depth and commitment in relationships. Love these days has become crawling back to a person who has hurt, manipulated and lied to you. People are so empty and lonely that they mistake mere attention for love and eventually get their heart broken. Love and heartbreak have become interchangeable words. Many people are scared to fall in love. Why? What are the issues? How to prevent and successfully deal with major conflicts in your relationship? These are some of the questions which this book will answer and will be a one stop solution to most of your relationship and personal conflicts and dilemmas.

There are numerous books and movies about love but the reality today is completely different. Love is twisted, complicated and unpredictable but is also ecstatic, heavenly and satisfying. It all depends on how one handles it. Most people commit grave errors in handling love, resulting in failed relationships, heartbreaks, depression and worse. Why does this happen? This is because people are either "unaware" or they are habituated to falling in love with: "fantasies" and their notions of love and relationships are far away from reality.

"REALITY OF A FANTASY CALLED LOVE" by Life Coach and Chartered Accountant Rudra Dave is a bold and thought provoking book which will provide its readers with a realistic portrayal of how modern day relationships function and enable them to understand what is love, what kind of people should be avoided, the art of having a long lasting relationship, how to deal with heartbreaks & infidelity and much more.
