I received this book as an eARC from NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire. 

The Broken Hearts Club follows Imogen (Mo), the daughter of a matchmaker, who spent the last year faking her relationship with August. Hijinks ensue when August who shows up again after she fake dates and then dumps him wondering why. Can she keep it together while he is in town and finish and submit her portfolio to a summer arts program or will heartbreak get the best of her? 

This was a quick, fun read. I enjoyed Mo’s descriptions of how she sees love and heartbreak surrounding people in waves of colors. That was something poetic about the descriptions. I loved all the talk about the cafe and baked goods, especially  the Frankenbiscuits. I would recommend this book to friends who need a nice fluffy book.
