This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Soul: True Love: 101 Heartwarming and Humorous Stories about Dating, Romance, Love, and Marriage (Chicken Soup for the Soul (Quality Paper)) (Paperback)

This book could not have came at a better for me, as I read it to get in the spirit of Valentines Day. It is an adorable book of 2-3 page stories that focus on love, dating, romance, and marriage. This book begins with an introduction from Kristi Yamaguchi (famous ice skater) and her hockey playing husband, telling how they met and fell in love. It was a nice way to start the book and showed that celebrities expierence the whole love, dating, and marriage thing just like the rest of us!


Throughout the book, I laughed and cried at all the tales that made me feel both relied that it didn't happen to me and surprised that I was also in the similar situation. The book makes you feel giddy inside and since it is real-life stories, it is not like a romance novel, just like two friends talking! I enjoyed reading a story here and there and picking it up to read all 101 stories!

I received this book to review, but it is 100% my opinion.

No matter your age, the stories in this edition touch your soul. I gave a copy to my 16-year-old grandson, and he wept as he read one of the stories, and he hooted with laughter at another. I entertained some elderly ladies for lunch and gave a copy, from which we read aloud some of the stories--my guests alternated between laughter and tears. One said, "I will have something wonderful to think about as I fall asleep tonight!" A must read.

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Soul: True Love: 101 Heartwarming and Humorous Stories about Dating, Romance, Love, and Marriage (Chicken Soup for the Soul (Quality Paper)) (Paperback)

I started this book before bed and I read for two hours before I forced myself to put it down. I was so heart-warming to read story upon story about the love between two people. Every one of us is different, yet so much the same. Some people dated for weeks, some for years, some had labeled themselves as 'never to be coupled.' Each writer brings us into his or her private, unique world in such a beautifully-written way. If you are someone, like me, who loves to ask people: "How did you two meet?" you will fall in love with this book. Perfect for Valentine's Day!
