Reasons why I love you book: what's inside
Fifty reasons, one per page, written from your own memories and illustrated with characters who look like the two of you. Here's what goes in a why I love you book from us, and how it's made.
Why fifty, not ten
Many reasons books stop at ten. Ten is a lovely card, but it leaves most of the story out. Fifty gives you room for how you met, the small daily things, the jokes, the year you got through together and what's still ahead, without reaching for filler.
We'd rather be honest about what that takes: fifty specific reasons is real writing. That's why we help. You answer questions about them, and our writing assistant drafts reasons from your answers for you to keep, change or throw out. The words that end up in the book are yours.

- The cover
- Their name, the title you choose, and the two of you illustrated on the front in the style you pick. The Years of Reasons cover can say the year too, for an anniversary.
- The dedication
- A page in your own words before the reasons start. A line, a date, an inside joke: whatever you'd write on the first page of a book you were giving them.
- Fifty reasons, one per page
- Each reason gets a page of its own, so none of them gets lost in a list. Your characters appear through the book, at the kitchen table, on the sofa, out on a walk.
- The finished book
- 21.6 cm (8.5 in) square, printed in full color on thick coated paper. The hardcover is case-bound with a matte finish. Every order includes the digital book too.

What is a reasons why I love you book?+
A small book where every page holds one reason you love someone. Ours has fifty reasons, a dedication page and a cover with your names, with the two of you illustrated to look like the real people.
Why fifty reasons?+
Ten fits on a card but leaves most of the story out. Fifty covers how you met, the everyday, the funny moments, the hard times and the future, with a page for each, and it's few enough that every reason can be specific. Our guide to reasons why I love you book ideas explains how to plan them.
Do I write the reasons myself?+
They come from you. You answer questions about the person, our writing assistant drafts reasons from your answers, and you edit, replace or rewrite any of them. Nothing goes in the book that you haven't approved.
Is it only a love book for a partner?+
No. The Reasons I Love You book is for partners, but there are books for Mom, Dad, best friends and grandparents, and the questions change to suit who it's for. Looking for a What I love about you book? Here's how ours compares.

The digital book is $12 (£9), the softcover $29 (£22) and the hardcover $49 (£39). Printed books include the digital book. Ordering is open: make your book, read every page, then order the digital book or a printed copy.
Can I see it before it's printed?+
