A Coloring Book for People Who Love… Unfortunately
Valentine’s Day has a reputation problem.
Somewhere along the way, it turned into a high-pressure performance review of your relationship, your emotional availability, and your ability to pretend a heart-shaped dinner reservation isn’t wildly inconvenient. And if you’re single? Congrats — you’re now expected to be thriving about it.
So we made something honest instead.
Introducing: Adulthood Is a Scam – Valentine’s Edition
A coloring book for people who have felt personally victimized by February 14th.
This edition is a lovingly chaotic exploration of modern love — the kind that exists somewhere between sincere affection and quiet resentment. It’s for people who planned something cute and ended up crying in a parking lot. For couples who argue about nothing and everything. For singles who are “fine with it” (sure). For anyone whose love language is lower expectations.
What’s inside?
This book contains:
- Romantic expectations vs. reality
- Weaponized affection
- Love languages you never asked for
- Emotional labor disguised as gifts
You’ll find scenes of:
- Forced cheer and fake smiles
- Passive-aggressive gift exchanges
- “It’s fine” energy radiating from every page
- Love that feels suspiciously like a group project
All wrapped in deceptively cute, black-and-white illustrations designed to be colored through the emotional damage.
And because silence can be loud…
There’s a soundtrack.
For the first time, Adulthood Is a Scam – Valentine’s Edition comes with an official coloring soundtrack — a 5-song mini album created to be played while you color, spiral gently, or stare at the wall reconsidering your life choices.
The soundtrack is available on all major streaming platforms, because emotional processing should be portable.
These songs were written to match the pages:
equal parts funny, uncomfortable, and painfully relatable.
Think: Valentine’s Day is a scam, love feels like unpaid labor, and somehow you’re still trying.
Put it on while you color.
Or while you don’t color and just sit there. Both count.
Side effects may include:
Nostalgia. Mild rage. Laughing through gritted teeth. The sudden urge to text someone you absolutely should not.
Markers, colored pencils, headphones, and a loose grip on your dignity are strongly recommended.
This is not a romance book.
But it is a love letter.
To everyone who keeps showing up anyway.
To people trying their best with the emotional tools they have.
To relationships that are messy, imperfect, exhausting — and somehow still worth it.
Adulthood Is a Scam: Valentine’s Edition isn’t here to fix your love life.
It does come with coloring pages and a soundtrack, though.
And honestly?
That might be better.
The coloring book is Available on Amazon and wherever books are sold!
