Other People's Love Letters: 150 Letters You Were Never Meant to See Book

Fevered notes scribbled on napkins after first dates. Titillating text messages. It's-not-you-it's-me relationship-enders. In Other Peopleâ??s Love Letters, Bill Shapiro has searched Americaâ??s attics, closets, and cigar boxes and found actual lettersâ??unflinchingly honest missives full of lust, provocation, guilt, and vulnerabilityâ??written only for a loverâ??s eyes. Modern love, of course, is not all bliss, and in these pages youâ??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 peopleâ??s most passionate moments, will ultimately reawaken your own desires and tendernessâ?¦because when you read these letters, youâ??ll find the heart youâ??re looking into is actually your own.

â?¢ "i think UR great. wanna have wine & Tequila again sometime?"

â?¢ "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."

â?¢ "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."

â?¢ "P.S. I look forward to your letters too much to call. Also, where do you stand on chains?"
