Picture Book By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-11-18 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-peeves-i-love-you-but-picture-book References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/16194/) & [loveyoubut](http://www.loveyoubut.com/) The "I Love You But..." [picture book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-life-in-a-book) is a joint effort by Alex Holder and Ross Neil that exposes and celebrates the pet peeves we all inevitably find in our relationships. There are dozens of illustrations in "I Love You But..." with pet peeves that are nearly universal. For example, the first image contains the caption, "I love you but... you wear sunglasses indoors." From the friend that overstays his welcome to the acquaintance who ends every written sentence with several exclamation points, the minor annoyances in "I Love You But..." all add up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Relationship Pet Peeve Guides:** Creating picture books and guides to help people handle their pet peeves in relationships. - **Humorous Illustrations:** Developing humorous illustrations that point out common pet peeves. - **Celebrating Annoyances Culture:** Embracing and celebrating minor irritations in relationships through art and humor. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Publishing:** The publishing industry can capitalize on creating more humorous and relatable relationship guides. - **Art and Design:** Art and design industries can work on developing humorous illustrations to point out common relationship pet peeves. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can create more shows, movies, and podcasts centered around celebrating and commiserating over relationship pet peeves. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cat-Friendly Book Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tails-of-irresistibility.md) - [Unconventional Valentine Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-disingenuous-romance-day-valentine-card.md) - [Love-Inspired Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-say-i-love-you-around-the-world.md) - [Digital Relationship Scrapbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-by-notes.md) - [Couples Recipe Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recipe-therapy.md) - [Milestone-Marking Relationship Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovecation-moments.md) - [Book-Themed Plush Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchkins-book-plushies.md) - [Family Restaurant Picture Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-e-cheese-and-genius-cat-books.md) - [Surfing-Focused Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raymond-pettibon-1.md)
