Heartsick: Three Stories About Love and Loss, and What Happens in Between by Jessie Stephens
5.0
This book is NOT a self help book. But by hearing the real and raw experiences of three individuals journeying from the beginning to the end of a relationship, I was able to unpack some of my own lingering thoughts that I’ve been carrying since previous heartbreak. It also made me aware of universal experiences shared by all three individuals who on the surface seem so different… which made me feel less alone.
Quotes:
• “My life has become an empty performance for the 1 person who isn’t watching.”
• “An idea doesn’t arrive once, it haunts you.”
• “The feeling is still right there living in his chest.”
• “There are few things we control less then how someone else feels about us.”
• “The admission of a partner in the middle of a conversation never quite fits. No matter how natural it roles off the tongue, it always feels like a confession.”
• “Borrowed colour from other people.”
• “Art helps when love has failed us.”
