A blank page and a pen. Most stall at reason four.

Stuck on reason number four?
Answer three questions and get ten reasons to start from, free. Send them as a message, or turn them into the book.
You still save me the last roast potato and pretend you didn't see me looking.
You learnt my coffee order on our second date and never once got it wrong.
You hold my hand in the car like we're still nineteen.
Good to know
Is it made with AI?+
Yes, with care. The words start from your real memories: our writing assistant turns your answers into drafts using only what you told us, and you keep, edit or rewrite every line. The illustrations are made with AI from the characters you build, and every one is checked against your choices before you see it. You pick your favourite, and nothing is printed until you've approved it all.
Can the characters really look like us?+
That's the point. Choose from ten skin tones, sixteen hairstyles including locs, braids, afros and coils, face shapes, noses, lips and body types, plus hijabs, turbans and headwraps, glasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs, freckles, vitiligo, grey hair and pets. Then pick a style and we illustrate them.
When can I order?+
Book ordering opens in November 2026. You can make your characters and try the free reasons generator today, and your choices are saved on this device.
Where is it printed?+
Close to whoever's receiving it: in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and the EU. That keeps delivery quick and avoids customs charges.
What if it's the night before?+
Order the digital book and you'll have it within minutes. Add a printed copy and it follows in the post.
Can I make one for my mum, or my best friend?+
Yes. Pick who it's for at the start and the questions change to suit: warm and grateful for family, full of in-jokes for friends, romantic only for partners.
Say it while you're thinking it.
Make the characters now, it takes two minutes. The words can come later; we'll help.
