Lessons in Heartbreak
by Karla Sorensen
medium-paced
I love me a man who reads. Or even starts reading to make his “crush” happy. Ruby and Griffen are couple GOALS. This story felt so real. Ruby is a cautious woman, but with what she has been through, who wouldn’t be, and Griffen is your stereotypical NFL football player, at first glance. Once you get to know him, he is such a sweetheart. Everything that this man did for Ruby had me smiling. Also, it felt like a slow burn because there were so many moments where I just wanted them to get together, and they wouldn’t. They made me so mad at times. I enjoyed the small acts of service that he would do for her. It was just my ideal level of romance.
Let’s talk about the side characters, Lauren and Marcus. These two are some of the best side characters that I have read about. Marcus brought such a comedic, carefree vibe to the story that I loved so much, and Lauren is the messy to Ruby’s organized. I loved how much Marcus helped Griffen at many points throughout the story, and I'm so happy that these side characters got the ending that they deserved. There was a plot twist towards the end that made me a little mad, because both of the main characters showed such amazing growth from when we met them at the beginning, and it felt like they backtracked a bit. But, after I calmed down, I did find myself appreciating the end so much more. One major thing that I found myself not liking much was the number of times that their size comparison was brought up. After a couple of times, I understood that she was tiny compared to him. So every time it was mentioned, I was taken out of the story because I started noticing how frequently it was being mentioned. Anyways, this story had amazing character growth, such a wonderful found family, and just some amazing romance!
This book indeed does give you lessons in heartbreak. My heart is broken because I don’t have a Griffin King for myself.
