Drew Barrymore opens her book by declaring her lifelong fascination with hearts and their power to express love through simple curves. Over ten years, she collected photographs of heart-shaped discoveries from her daily life. Her camera captures these forms in discarded straw wrappers, torn fabric holes, vegetables floating in soup bowls, and countless other unexpected places. Some hearts appear obvious while others demand closer inspection to reveal themselves. Barrymore adds personal captions to many images, reflecting on how beauty emerges from the most common moments. The collection represents her transition from actress and director into photography, documenting her belief that love symbols surround us constantly if we learn to notice them.
