Valentine's Day is a confidence test that most people do not agree to sit.
It assumes competence in romance, timing, communication, and decision-making, and allows no resits.
Valentine's: The Rule Book is a short, funny gift book for couples who like each other but don't enjoy performative romance.
It's a keepable alternative to a Valentine's card. A gift you don't throw away once the day is over.It's not self-help.
It's not advice.
It's a light, affectionate guide to getting through Valentine's Day without unnecessary damage.
Written in dry, observational humour, the book sets out the unspoken rules of the day, from expectations and gifts to texting, reservations, public displays, and the quiet relief of opting out entirely.
Inside you'll find:
- Small, sharp chapters you can read in one sitting
- Gentle rules that feel familiar rather than instructive
- Black-and-white cartoons throughout
- Checklists and appendices designed to be laughed at, not taken seriously
Perfect as:
- A Valentine's gift
- An anti-Valentine's gift
- Something to give your partner and say, This is us
It's the kind of book you dip into, read together, and quietly agree about.
If nothing exploded, it still counts as love.
This is a small, funny Valentine's gift designed to be read, shared, and enjoyed together.It exists purely to add warmth, recognition, and a bit of laughter to the day.
