This book playfully adopts the methodology of social research and scientific investigation by using humorous survey forms and various rating systems to analyse past crushes and assemble the data into infographics. It starts with a crash course on the basic concepts of crushing. Louise Steyaert introduces her 'International Scale of Crush Intensity' (ISCI) to help readers detect whether what they're enduring is a mere passing fancy or a mindblowing, heartwrenching, knee-trembling coup de foudre. Steyaert's witty drawings illustrate seven predominant crush categories - the Hottie, the Player, the Traveller, the Funny Guy, the Smarty Pants, the Summer Fling and - of course - the Unattainable. At the book's heart are fifteen 'case studies' for readers to fill in themselves, which will give them an overview of their 'type'. This in-depth case file of secret crushes will make a great gift for swooning romantics everywhere.
