Meet Cutes NYC: True Stories of Love and Connection

"Excuse me, are you two a couple?"

From the creators of @meetcutesnyc, this stunning new book--beautifully photographed and written--captures true stories of love and connection as told on the streets of NYC.

Meet Cutes NYC is a breathtaking collection of 85 stories--a mix of new and fan favorites--alongside beautiful portraits of the couples, photographed exclusively for the book. Each interview opens the same way, "Excuse me, are you two a couple?" Followed by, "Can you tell us the story of how you met?"

But the stories are each unique--like Chris and Clay, who met while auditioning for West Side Story (they both got it). And Joe and Liza, who met in a hardware store--while Liza was with her boyfriend at the time. There are stories of couples who met on public transportation, at a party, through friends, at work, at church--you truly never know where you might find love. There are also stories of second chances--like Mike and Karen--who met in college, broke up, and then bumped into each other again two years later; they fell into a kiss and have been married for 37 years.

Beyond how they met, couples share their partner's favorite traits, what they love to do together, and how they make their relationships work. Meet Cutes NYC is a celebration of modern-day love connections--across all ages, genders, and backgrounds.

The book is a refreshing dose of real love stories, from real people, in a gorgeous package.
