‘The beautiful and the dark side of a love story: Two adults find themselves in a mix-up of subjects and turn into something more’ by Adrian Gabriel Dumitru
In this book, Dumitru paints a nuanced picture of what it means to fall in love and experience both the beauty and the darkness that inevitably follow.
At its core, the book attempts to study the art of living a love story—to understand how real love unfolds over time, complete with moments of joy, confusion, and heartbreak. The author suggests that in a true love story, everything must be in the first day. This concept highlights the notion that love, in its purest form, is immediate, intense, and deeply transformative from the outset, leaving both individuals forever changed from the moment they meet.
The author also delves into the life lessons that the Universe gives you through the ups and downs of a relationship. He reflects on how every love story, no matter how beautiful or painful, carries with it profound lessons—lessons about acceptance, understanding, and, perhaps most importantly, embracing both the light and the darkness in another person.
One of the more compelling themes in the book is the idea of “loving someone on silent mode”. The author explores the darker side of love, the silent suffering, and the unspoken feelings that can often dominate a relationship.
In addition to the emotional complexity, the author also examines the role of social media in love—how it can both connect and destroy, how modern technology influences romantic dynamics and how fragile love can be in the digital age.
The Beautiful and the Dark Side of a Love Story is a profound meditation on love in all its forms. Dumitru masterfully captures the tension between the fairy tale expectations we place on relationships and the gritty reality that often lies beneath. It’s a book for those who want to explore the full spectrum of love: the joy, the heartbreak, and the journey of accepting both the beautiful and the dark sides of the person they hold dear.
The beautiful and the dark side of a love story: Two adults find themselves in a mix-up of subjects and turn into something more
The book is trying to define the beautiful and the dark side from a man and a woman, that are in love of each other, but not as theory … but as a result of analysing facts that are happening on the timeline of the love story. It’s a book about a fairy tale, with 2 lovely characters that are not understanding, but also are not accepting that the meaning of an abstract love … or an impossible story is to enjoy only the beauty of what is going on. The 2 people from the essays get lost so many times, that not even the people around them can’t see if the story itself is real or not. But it’s all a journey of accepting the beautiful and the dark side from the person that you love so much. After the first period when you are blinded by love, it comes the second episode when you see that you are not in love with a god, but with a human being … and just as you have millions of imperfections … the same has also that magic person that you fall in love with. It’s a book that defines the fact that we should accept the things just as they are … and love with an opened heart … no matter what is going on. The nice part is that the book is not a collection of imaginary stories … but essays that talks about a real story between 2 adults that wants to redefine and also restart their lives … but in the end just enjoy the fact that they met … losing any expectation at all as the story to become a real one. Today you are happy, tomorrow you are not .. and the essays describes this in a very honest, but also beautiful way … all those amazing moments spent together.
