Summary from Good Reads

If there’s an upside to having your heart broken, it’s this: A broken heart makes you brave.

The first day of sophomore year doesn’t go the way Lucy planned. After a summer apart from her boyfriend, she’s ready to greet him with a special surprise and instead gets a shocking one in return: He’s breaking up with her. Beyond devastated, Lucy has no idea how she’s going to make it through homeroom, let alone the rest of her life.

Enter three stunning girls with the unnatural ability to attract boys and an offer Lucy can’t refuse: They can heal her heart in an instant. And then she’ll be one of them—a member of a sisterhood that is impervious to heartbreak and has access to magic distilled from the tears of brokenhearted boys. But to gain their power, Lucy must get a guy to fall in love with her the old-fashioned way, and then break his heart in the next seven days.

While the sisterhood may need another Heartbreaker, Lucy’s only desire is to get her ex back. But how far is she willing to go, and who is she willing to cross to get what she wants?

My Summary:

Well, when it comes down to it, the beginning pages of the book described pure heartbreak, coming back from a summer vacation, Lucy expecting to be even more in love with her boyfriend, Alex, but then he throws a bombshell, and breaks up with her, with little to no excuse at all. She is then heartbroken, and runs to the bathroom, where she is then greeted by the leader of the Secret Sisterhood, Olivia. Then, she pursues her offer, and then denies it, the sisters than become mad at her, but then Gil, one of the sisters invites her back to it, then near the end helps her.

SO My Opinion:

Lucy, is crushed, which I understand that was written well, concerning her reaction. But what I don't like is the fact, yes it was over, and I mean sometimes especially for teenaged girls is hard to grasp, (me being one of them). Otherwise, I really don't understand when she was presented with other guys that she had the chance to talk to and didn't because she was still stuck on Alex, and no matter what the sisters told her to do, which was basically, in a matter of seven days, have a boy fall in love with her, and then proceed to break his heart, collect his tears, and then make a potion to help make guys fall in love with them. With doing so she would then be a member of the Secret Sisterhood.
Overall, I thought the book was okay, the plot itself was childish and stupid, but again it's a young teenaged girl, so it's not like it would go into complete depth, so it's alright in my opinion.
2.5/5 stars.
