The Thing About Love is a multi couple story line. Like the semester project for "The Love Course" requires each student to team with another class member and answer a hundred and fifty probing questions to explore what love means to each person individually. For example there's Nelson and Cassie, two competing campus students organizations politicians, who dislike each other enough for it to turn to love. And then there's Lilli and Greg, he loves her but there's someone else in her life. These are the complications of love and of this story.
