According to Anne E Cunningham from University of California, Berkeley, young book readers develop emotional intelligence through "language exposure" that results in stronger communication skills needed to have a better love life.

"Reading sensitive and lengthy explorations of people's lives, that kind of fiction is literally putting yourself into another person's position," researchers said.

Earlier research also pointed out that "deep reading" helps fine-tune one's "theory of mind" through literary material.
