This is probably my favourite Bradley Trevor Greive book. The message is clear and the photography is both gorgeous and funny :-)

The Simple Truth About Love is a little too simple. It is a sweet book but its' truths are a little trite and shopworn. A quick way to while away twenty minutes of an afternoon. (And I intentionally read this really slowly.)

Luin suomennettuna, käännettynä kirjan nimi on 'Lyhyt totuus rakkaudesta'. Siinähän se oli kuvin ja lyhyin lausein tiivistettynä parisuhde kaikessa ihanuudessaan ja kamaluudessaan. Viihdyttävä välipala.

His books are so sweet, easy for even the busiest Mom to finish, and uplifting.

Smagūs paveiksliukai (gaila tik nespalvoti) ir derantys šmaikštūs aprašymai. Maža dovanų knygelė pakelianti nuotaiką :)

A sweet and easy book which shares thoughts on how simple the love is. Lots of pictures (in-fact each page has one) goes along the author’s narration about love.

Up there with Blue Day and Looking for Mr. Right. This one has some great wisdom and some really heart-warming photos. I really liked it! A great romantic gift.

This was DUMB.

I received this as a gift from my husband and it's the sweetest book ever. I love all of the pictures of animals "kissing" and "hugging" each other with the little romantic sayings. This is a perfect book for a Valentine's Day or anniversary gift but also just something sweet to read when you're in the mood for a little romantic reading.

I love these books. They are so uplifting and nicely put together. The pictures of the animals are entertaining and make you feel a little better about yourself for a minute. They definitely make you smile and they make good gifts for moms and friends.

Amazing pictures, lovely text, it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, AND it cracks you up! :) A wonderful book.

[Briana S. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh man this book is so cute. It gives the anatomy of a kiss, and so much more. And if you are in love or have a little crush, this book is definately the book for you.

touchy little miracle

[Angela · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is mostly cute pictures of animals (all sorts, including ants and flamingos) with short comments about what love is, and what it puts you through. Very cute.
