Love Handles - Cultural Love Book

As the leaves start to change and the air gets a little crisper, there’s something so comforting about curling up with a good book. But what if that book didn’t just warm your body but also your heart? I’ve been playing around with an idea that I think could be really special—a book that dives into the universal language of love with a mix of humor and heart.

Picture This:

Imagine a book that takes you on a fun journey around the world, exploring how different cultures express love, all wrapped up in a lighthearted and witty package. I’m thinking of calling it “Love Handles”—a cheeky nod to how different cultures “handle” love in their own unique and endearing ways. It’s the kind of read that’ll make you smile, maybe even laugh out loud, while giving you a deeper appreciation for the beautiful diversity of human connection.

Cozy Up with a Fall Read in 2025:

I’m picturing a release just in time for fall 2025—perfect for those cool, cozy evenings when you want to curl up with something that makes you feel both connected and entertained. So, what do you think? Would this be something you’d love to add to your bookshelf?

Let’s Chat:

Before I dive headfirst into this project, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Would you be interested in a book like this—one that blends humor, cultural insights, and heartwarming stories of love from around the globe? Your feedback is so important to me, and it’ll help shape what comes next.

Warmly,
