In August 2015, Vuorisalmi published her first book Sekaisin LOVEsta which is a scientific exploration of the issues of falling in love and being in a relationship. In it, she discusses the effects of hormones and stress on maintaining a successful relationship as well as attempts to answer why we fall in love in the first place and why we break-up. The book is published by Otava Publishing Company Ltd from Finland.[12][13]
In October 2020, Vuorisalmi's second book Rakkaus haltuun was published by WSOY (Bonnier Group).[14] Rakkaus haltuun is a practical guide for anyone who wants to take full control over their health and happiness in life.
