This is the digital reading copy of The Lonely Hearts Club, Issue 02.
We’re a print-first paper, always have been, always will be. But demand has been high, copies are finite, and we don’t believe in gatekeeping something made for people. So this is our answer.
The digital edition is a full PDF of the newspaper, exactly as it appears in print. Same stories. Same personal ads. Same pacing, design, and odd little details. Best read slowly, ideally with a coffee, a drink, or a quiet moment you didn’t plan on taking.
If you’re near one of our host venues, we still recommend reading it there. If you want to hold it in your hands, the print edition is the thing. But if you’re elsewhere, or simply couldn’t get a copy in time, this one’s for you.
This is people’s print, in digital form, designed to be devoured by all.

Our editor-in-chief unpicks the story of Saint Valentine, stripping back the saccharineto reveal the stranger, darker, and far more human origins of love’s most prescriptive holiday. (Plus an invitation to our first-ever Valentine’s Boogie).
The Myers Match, curated by Justin Myers, returns with a fresh round of pairings, and manages to find a soul still emotionally committed to Stifler’s Mom
Harper Leeway takes us deep into a modern Tinder swindle that features no money, no nudes, and plenty of emotional collateral
Artist Jini Rawlings offers a moving exploration of memory, identity, and the quiet persistence of connection, even when it remains unseen.
All of this, of course, alongside a glorious new parade of irresistible personals.
Available as a digital PDF, Issue 02 is designed to be read in bed, on trains, between messages you’re not ready to send.
If you’re looking for a newspaper devoted to love, longing, and human connection — romantic, platonic, undefined — welcome back. Or welcome in.
In any case:
