Someone put the empty milk carton back in the fridge. Someone ate the last biscuit and left the dishes to soak for three days. This is the book of the small household crimes your partner and you have blamed on each other for years, told with love, with both of you drawn as the suspects and your own accusations quoted inside.
Your photos are only used to draw the people in this book - never published, sold or used to train AI.
A story for more than one person: you'll add a photo of each person in it as well as the hero's, and the prices above include everyone in the book.

A peek inside
How the story unfolds
These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh from your answers - their name woven through every page, and the answers you give us quoted word for word in the chapters.
Chapter Two
The Usual Suspects
Then came the last biscuit, the lost remote and the mystery of the wet towel on the bed, and every clue pointed both ways.
A cosy living room crime scene: biscuit crumbs on the sofa, the remote under a cushion, two innocent faces.
Chapter Three
Case Closed
The cases are still open, the blame is still shared, and neither of them would want a single suspect to change.
Side by side on the sofa, one plate and one last biscuit snapped exactly in half, case closed for tonight.
These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with them in it when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.
Is this the one?
Who It Was Definitely You is for
It Was Definitely You is the funny book for two people who share a home and a long list of small unsolved crimes. You tell us the empty carton, the last biscuit and the thing each of you swears the other one did, and the chapters retell those cases with your words quoted inside. Both of you are drawn from your photos as the two suspects, and the verdict is always shared.
Who it suits, and when
It suits any couple who has lived together long enough to argue about the dishes, whether that is the first flat or the fortieth year. It is a good anniversary, birthday or housewarming gift, and the right one for a partner with a good sense of humour about their own habits. The teasing is affectionate and evenly split, so nobody comes off worse.
For Sam, who has never once put the empty milk carton back in the fridge, according to Sam.

Common questions
Who is It Was Definitely You for?
It Was Definitely You is a book about a grown-up, written in the voice of a gift book rather than a picture book. During setup you answer three questions, and up to three more if you want more of the book to be yours, and your answers are quoted word for word in the chapters.
How is It Was Definitely You personalized?
You upload a photo of the person the book is about, choose man or woman, and they become the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - recognizable across all 12 chapters. Anyone else in the story is drawn from their own photo, and their name and a dedication are woven in too.
How long is the book, and what formats are there?
Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $16.90, softcover $44.90 and hardcover $49.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.
Can I see it before I pay?
Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
