Publisher Description
The fan-favorite couple from Netflix’s “delicious romp” (Slate) Love Is Blind share their engaging and accessible love advice for the modern world, the ups and downs they’ve experienced during their first years of marriage, and exclusive behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the pods.
When Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed locked eyes for the first time, they were already engaged. They had no idea what to expect, having fallen in love across the divider of their pods on the daring Netflix reality show Love Is Blind. While they never expected to find their other half through this experiment, Lauren and Cameron emerged proof of the hypothesis that love is blind.
Now, they’ll take us back to the origins of their whirlwind romance to tell their definitive story. Through alternating points of view, we’ll find out what led them to the show in the first place, how scary it was to bare their souls to faceless strangers on television, and how things shifted—for better and for worse—once the cameras were suddenly off and the rings were on. Lauren and Cameron’s journey together is a modern love story like no other, and their adventure is just beginning.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hamilton and Speed, who fell in love and married on the Netflix reality show Love Is Blind, dispense advice and revealing stories from their lives in this touching memoir. The first section explores the couple's lives before casting, from Hamilton's first girlfriend in the ninth grade to Speed's "consecutive" long-distance dating. They met at the taping of Love Is Blind and share behind-the-scenes memories of their time on the show, such as when Hamilton delivered a plum tree to Speed as part of their fifth date, as well as their interactions with other cast members ("He was too smooth," Speed reminisces about Carlton, a contestant "the girls were crazy about"). The newlyweds also share their experiences, after taping wrapped up, of adjusting to married life, including Speed's reluctance to give up her own apartment after moving in with Hamilton. Throughout, the couple give fresh relationship advice—for instance, they recommend running a marriage like a business with weekly planning meetings to discuss short-term and long-term goals. Fans of the show will find much to love. Agents: Cindy Uh and Kate Childs, Creative Artists.

So pure
Absolutely loved reading their story. So easy to follow because it was so real, and they don’t hold back anything. Such a good read I finished it within 5 days and I’m not a big reader.
