Promising review: "This book is so fun if you like to write. My husband and I love to write and be creative together. We take a date night to both write under the same topic and see the differences in what we wrote. Super fun (and maybe a little nerdy, but we're all about it)!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I don't know what I expected of this book, but flipping through it, I was immediately itching to draw. I like that the prompts are simple enough that they lend themselves to your interpretation. There are different sizes marked out for each prompt so you have to really think about how you're going to use that space. My favorite prompts are the ones that aren't tangible. How do you draw a girl's giggle? Well, buy this book and find out." —KettlePot

Promising review: "I had two friends rave about this planner and they were right! The way you can individualize your goals and make a plan to execute them is incredibly motivating and helpful with the guide and open format. I especially appreciate the end-of-the-month journal questions that help you reflect instead of having no idea what happened because 'time just flies by'." —Isabella Freeman

Promising review: "I'm a student in design classes, and this notebook has been a lifesaver. Being able to upload sketches and notes saves time and ensures my work is easily accessible and organized. The pen is also fantastic! It erases perfectly but still makes bold lines like a fine point Sharpie (and doesn't smudge or leak through pages). I highly recommend this notebook to any college student. I will be buying more in the future." —huds
