I do have to start with this. If you want your lovebook to be a kind of story like I did, it takes time to tell your story. I did the lovebook as part of my marriage proposal. Since it was very personalized based on our experiences as a couple, it took a while to write and build the pages. It came out great and it's a high-quality product. I got the hardcover book and I think it's worth the extra price for that. I am completely happy with the product and my fiancee loved it. It honestly took longer than I expected it to, but that personalization made it so and I'm glad I gave myself a few weeks to do it. If you don't want to spend as much time, you can easily add some of the pre-made pages the way they are. That's up to you and it's still nice. For me personally, I see this product as a one-time thing for a very special occasion so I probably wouldn't do it again in the near future, but if you need a great gift, I highly suggest lovebook. Great product!
