Heartsick: Three Stories of Falling in Love . . . And What Happens After it Ends by Jessie Stephens
quaintrelle_chantelle's review against another edition
2.0
When the author couldn’t find the book she was searching for, a book that correlated with her heart break, words that eased her pain, she wrote it. This provides an outsider’s glimpse into the lives of three hearts, full of love & hope at one point, broken & battered by the end. It explores the isolation of grief.
I’m not sure if I personally felt this book met the intended purpose. I don’t know if these particular stories were the right ones. Not for me anyway. It was often hard to relate & I felt a bit like a party guest who wasn’t sure they wanted to be at this party. I guess I’m still searching for that right book, this one wasn’t it for me.

📖 Heartsick: Three Stories Of Falling In Love… & What Happens After It Ends
✏️ Jessie Stephens
📍London (UK), Toowoomba, Sydney, Perth & Durnham (Australia)
👥 Ana. Rob. Claire. Maggie. Patrick. Caitlin.
📎 Non-Fiction
“The world is full of broken people who have put themselves back together. Love is magic and heartbreak is the price we pay.”
I picked this up as a 99p Kindle Daily Deal a week or so ago as the premise intrigued me. Heartbreak is universal but as a human experience, not one that is widely spoken about in serious terms. Jessie Stephens looks to articulate this through the stories of three real people: Ana, Claire and Patrick. I found it a quick, relatable read.
