Heartsick: Three Stories About Love and Loss, and What Happens in Between by Jessie Stephens
4.0
Honestly my favourite part of this was the essay “On Romantic Rejection” right at the very end, after the epilogue, when it was just Jessie talking. That’s what moved me the most.
This book taught me that heartbreak is literally the exact same for everyone. I read it going “yup. yup. uh huh.” It felt like my chest was being squeezed because it was all so very ~relatable~.
It’s very Three Women structurally - a neutral observation. I did love Three Women.
I like reading nonfic about love and relationships so I liked reading this book. I think it was well done. I was jarred (in the best, most fitting way) by the loose ends and touched by the familiarity.
