}}True Love (Spanish: Amor Verdadero) is a book written by the American entertainer Jennifer Lopez. A hardcover edition of the book was published in English and Spanish on November 4, 2014, by Celebra, a division of the Penguin Group. A portion of the proceeds from True Love goes to the Lopez Family Foundation, a nonprofit organization co-founded by Lopez that is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women and children.[1]

Background and development

While on her first headlining concert tour Dance Again World Tour, Lopez began writing what she described as "a diary of the year I went on tour". To her surprise, as the tour progressed, she came to the realization that what she was writing was a book. Lopez was nervous about writing about certain topics for the book, but later realized that in doing so, she could have a chance to save others from "suffering their own bumps and bruises". According to Lopez, she had to do a lot of "soul searching and praying", as she did not want it to be "mistaken for anything other than it was", which is "sharing something I learned with people I could help." In True Love, Lopez also discusses suffering from low self-esteem issues as a result of her successes.[1]

The book was officially announced on May 19, 2014, by Celebra, a division of the Penguin Group.[1] Of the novel, Lopez said: “Writing 'True Love' has been a deeply cathartic, personal, and vulnerable experience. If it were not for the love and courage given to me by my children, this story wouldn’t have been possible. While I struggled with the decision of whether or not to release this book, I recognized that if it could touch even just one person then it would honestly become one of the most fulfilling endeavors of my life."[1] Lopez initially did not intend to include content about her recent divorce from Marc Anthony in True Love, but said "the book evolved into something different than what I had intended it to be because of what I went through".[2]

Reception

True Love reached number seven on The New York Times Best Seller list, and number five on the Hardcover non-fiction chart.[3]

In a review, Elise De Los Santos of RedEye remarked, "Like a broken record, she repeats her “love yourself” mantra again and again throughout the book, which devolves at certain points into a one-sided life-coaching session." Santos, however, also noted that "Her strongest suit is showing the human side of the celebrity tabloid fodder we all eat up."[4]
