- We write 3–4 pages per chapter
- Review and approve each page and illustration
- Printed copy available
Made from your photos
The same two faces, on every page.
One photo of each of you is all it takes. We turn them into custom illustrations, in your choice of three styles, so nobody in your book is a stranger. Want a real photo in there too? With our Signature Edition, you can add your own pictures to any chapter.
Illustration didn't match? Ask for another before a single page is drawn.

What you'll be asked
No writing skills needed. You answer, we write.
We suggest the chapters for a love story book, from the day you met to the life you share today.
Suggested chapters
+ 13 more chapters you can add
Answer in your own words, as much or as little as you like.
For “How we met”, you'd answer:
- What do you remember about that moment?
- Read most of your first chapter before you choose a package.
- Your photos stay private. We delete your originals once you approve your book.
Look inside
Every chapter gets its own illustrated pages, drawn from your photos and written from your answers.
An 8 × 8 in square book: the picture on the left, your story on the right.

What's inside
From the day you met to today, chapter by chapter.
From the first hello to what comes next, we suggest some chapters to start you off. Keep them or swap them.
Written from your answers
Your places, your jokes, your words. Never a template with your names swapped in.
Read aloud
Every page narrated in a voice you choose. Hear how it says your names first, and fix them.
Printed, if you like
Add an 8 × 8 square softcover, or upgrade to hardcover. Ships within the US.
Your style, your photos
Choose 2D, 3D or anime illustrations, and add your favorite real photos to the chapters they belong in. Real photos are included with Signature Edition.
Your story, chapter by chapter.
The only surprise is theirs.
You approve every page
Nothing reaches them until you’ve read every page and said yes.
Change what isn’t right
Edit any word yourself, or ask for a rewrite or a new picture. Changes are included in every plan.
It waits for the day
Pick the date and time. It arrives then, not a minute before.
Your photos stay private
Used only to draw you both, and deleted 30 days after you approve your book.

Questions, answered
Will the characters look like us?
Yes. We draw you both from one photo each and keep your faces consistent on every page. You’ll see every illustration before the book is final.
Is it a good gift for my wife, husband, girlfriend, or boyfriend?
That’s who most people make it for. You tell the story from your side, approve every page, and surprise them with it.
Is it a good gift for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary or a birthday?
Yes. A first-anniversary book tells your story from how you met through your first year together, chapter by chapter.
How is this different from a fill-in ‘what I love about you’ book?
You don’t have to fill in a single page. You pick the reasons and tell us the moments, and we write, illustrate and narrate it.
How long does it take?
About 15-30 minutes to answer the questions, depending on how much detail you provide. Your book will then be ready for your review within 2-4 hours. You can then review and approve it. If your package includes a physical copy, your book will then be printed and shipped.
Can I change the book before it’s final?
Yes. You can change any page before you approve it.
How are the illustrations made?
Our AI creates custom illustrations from your photos, based on the illustration style you select, and keeps your faces consistent throughout. You review every page before it’s final.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once per book. Nothing renews.
Can we add our own photos to the book?
Yes, with Signature Edition. Choose a photo for any chapter, like your wedding day or a favorite trip, and it appears alongside that chapter’s illustrated pages.
Can I see the book before I pay?
Yes. Before you pay, we draw you both and write your first chapter, and you can read most of it. We save the last page for after. If you love how it’s coming together, choose a package and we’ll finish your book. You’ll still review and approve every page before they see it.
