Book in a feelings question shows feelings that are kept private: someone feels more than they show, or has not yet worked out what they feel. It can be a secret crush or a careful person who reveals themselves slowly. Book closed means the answer is not available yet; Letter, Key or Sun nearby show when it will be opened.
For someone who is single, Book points to meeting someone through study, a course or shared learning, or to an admirer who has not said anything yet. It advises patience and curiosity, because the other person is still unknown to you.
