The story

A love story, told backwards

Back to Hello: page 4
Page 4

Just one cup on my table. Just one cup on yours. Neither of us knew we were one cup short.

From page 23

It starts tonight: two cups on the table, yours and mine. Then it walks back, page by page, through a Tuesday, a hard stretch, the big fight, your first home and five moments you choose, all the way back to the first hello.

Told by you, to them, in “I” and “you”. Funny, honest and short enough to read aloud in five minutes.

  1. Chapter 1 · Pages 2–4 Tonight Two cups on the table, yours and mine. You’re reading. I’m pretending to.
  2. Chapter 2 · Pages 5–8 The hard stretch The big fight, and the morning after: who made the first cup, and handed it over first.
  3. Chapter 3 · Pages 9–15 Five of your moments Your first home, then the trip, the song, the night one of you got sick: you pick them, in your order.
  4. Chapter 4 · Pages 16–20 “I love you” Who said it first, who cried first, and a first kiss with a line that was never used.
  5. Chapter 5 · Pages 21–22 Hello Where you met, and the very first thing they said to you, word for word.

And on the last pages: what happens next. (Hint: you’ll need a second cup.)

We read it out loud on our anniversary, then wrote our first memory inside the cover. New tradition.

Page 22 has the first thing she ever said to me. She didn’t know I remembered.

The mugs came in the box with the book. Nobody else is allowed to use them. Obviously.

I gave it to my husband for our tenth anniversary. He got to page 23 and had to stop for a minute.

The questions took five minutes and somehow it sounds exactly like us. The cereal page is now a family legend.

Seeing both our faces in the preview sold me before I paid anything. Then I read every page on my phone, twice.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Do I see the book before I pay?

Yes. Your free preview paints the cover and the first 4 pages, and shows the words of all 32 pages, so you can read every line before you order. The rest of the pictures are painted after you order, and you can ask for changes for 24 hours.

Who is this book for?

Any couple: married, engaged or dating, living together or not yet. It’s written by one of you to the other, in “I” and “you”, so it never says he or she and works for every couple. It reads best once you’ve been together six months or more.

What do you ask me?

Where and when you met, the first thing they said (if you remember), what’s in the morning cup, a few “who went first” questions, and five memories from our list, or your own. It takes about five minutes, and you see the words change as you answer.

What kind of photo works best?

One clear, front-facing photo of each of you, in good light, with nothing covering the face. A phone photo is perfect. Please use two separate photos, not one of you together. If a photo doesn’t work, we’ll ask for another before anything is printed.

What are the engraved mugs?

Two mugs, one with each of your names, packed in the box with the book. Add them and page 29 changes to say so: “There are two new cups in the box. One says Claire. One says Ryan.”

Will it arrive in time?

Order by Dec 14 with standard shipping, or by Dec 18 with express, for delivery by Christmas in the continental US. For an anniversary, a birthday or Valentine’s Day, allow about two weeks.

Can I change something after I order?

Yes, for 24 hours after your order: the names, the photos, your answers, the memories or the dedication. After that, your book goes to print.

What happens to my photos?

They’re used only to paint your book. We delete them within 30 days of delivery and never sell or share them.
