LitLove is a dating platform that matches you on the books you love. Build a shelf, meet readers who underline the same passages, and start a conversation worth turning a page for.
12,000+ readers on the waitlist
Add the books that shaped you — favorites, comfort reads, the one you re-read every winter. Your library becomes your profile.
We surface readers whose shelves overlap with yours. Shared favorites count more than shared selfies.
Skip the icebreakers. Each match opens with a book-prompt — a passage, a question, a quote you've both underlined.

Share the lines you underlined last night. Find someone moved by the same sentence.
Log progress, finish dates, and notes. Watch your taste — and your matches — evolve.
Book clubs, themed prompts, monthly reads. Meet people whether or not you're dating.
