Heartsick: Three Stories About Love and Loss, and What Happens in Between by Jessie Stephens

5.0

Wow. Jessie has completely captured the visceral feeling of heartbreak. So much so that I had to put it down for a little bit because I began to feel in my body the pain that was my first heartbreak. That doesn’t sound like something you want to feel but... it is? Jessie so incredibly and artfully articulates the parts of being human that no one ever truly opens up about. The parts that you have felt in your darkest moments where you don’t believe anyone else has ever quite felt like this. I wish I had this book when I’ve been heartbroken and quite literally heart sick. Anyone who has ever felt that feeling (read: everyone) should read this book. It’s painful at times, yes, but it really does remind you that you’re not alone in this feeling. It’s also just a beautiful piece of writing. Read it!
