LET’S BE WEIRD TOGETHER: A Book About Love - is a celebration of the universal phenomenon that couples bring out the best in each other, but also the weirdest. The book features a collection of funny diagrams and charts, mini-comics, quirky lists and facts, and more joyfully bizarre oddments

 This colorful and fully illustrated compendium of quirky love contains:
Animal relationship facts, like how pufferfish create sand patterns to impress mates.
Relationship records, such as the longest underwater kiss, clocked in at 20 minutes.
Questions to determine how comfortable you are with your significant other. For example, are you “sharing drinks (one straw)” comfortable or “sharing drinks (two straws)” comfortable?
Romantic nicknames from around the world, including mon petit chou, which translates to “my little cabbage” in French.
Quirky couples throughout history, such as Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, chief manicurists to ancient Egyptian pharaoh Nyuserre Ini, who were also lovers. Their joint tomb is decorated with sweet and  affectionate paintings of the two men.

There is even a sampling of strange love-related laws (in New Orleans, fortune tellers and palm readers are not able to officiate at weddings), a selection of untraditional romantic getaway destinations (get hitched at Voodoo Doughnuts and snack on some doughnuts customized to resemble the newlyweds), a flowchart to help couples determine the type of pet that best suits them, and more!

LET’S BE WEIRD TOGETHER also includes a bonus sheet of temporary tattoos designed specifically for partners—a pair of mismatched socks, a heart proclaiming “I’m the better singer,” and more. A rare relationship book that captures the rituals and tiny two-person universes that couples create together, in a sweet, small package filled with humor, charming illustrations, and endearing quirkiness, it’s the perfect gift for a significant other on Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, a birthday, or as a just-because-I-love-you gift!
