Product Description
Fevered notes scribbled on napkins after first dates. Titillating text messages. It's-not-you-it's-me relationship-enders. In iOther People#8217;s Love Letters/i, Bill Shapiro has searched America#8217;s attics, closets, and cigar boxes and found actual letters#8211;unflinchingly honest missives full of lust, provocation, guilt, and vulnerability#8211;written only for a lover#8217;s eyes. Modern love, of course, is not all bliss, and in these pages you#8217;ll find the full range of a relationship, with its whispered promises as well as its heartache. But what at first appears to be a deliciously voyeuristic peek into other people#8217;s most passionate moments, will ultimately reawaken your own desires and tenderness#8230;because when you read these letters, you#8217;ll find the heart you#8217;re looking into is actually your own.brbr#8226; "i think UR great. wanna have wine Tequila again sometime?"brbr#8226; "I can't believe you're real, and I think about you constantly in some way or the other all day. I haven't given the finger to anyone driving since I met you."brbr#8226; "With you I learned how to fight cleaner, how to talk things out better, and how to make a strong loving family out of nothing. These are priceless gifts that I will carry with me the rest of my life. One more thing you did for me: you left, and I had to get through it."brbr#8226; "P.S. I look forward to your letters too much to call. Also, where do you stand on chains?"

 LOVE LETTERS October 17, 2008

THE PRIVACY OF OTHERS IS ALWAYS INTERESTING TO OTHER PEOPLE. IT'S LIKE A LOOK INTO SOMEONE ELSES SOUL.

This is not really a collection of love letters at all. Not very romantic, and not even letters. It's mostly just a bunch of sex emails and scribbled notes. More confusing than amusing. Nothing special
 Boring, not all even love letters. May 21, 2008

My husband Wiley writes waaaayyyy better love letters than this. Many are not even "love letters" they are just stupid, poorly written notes. Save your time and money.

I personally was not a fan of this book. I was excited to get it because I thought it may be interesting. While there were a couple cute letters, I particularly did not feel it was worth the money, and was boring.
Fun read March 10, 2008

i got this book for valentine's day and i found it really interesting. the best part is the descriptions at the end of what happened with the people who wrote and received the letters.
