How to Mend a Broken Heart by Rachael Johns

5.0

---

Felicity, on a whim, takes a short term job in New Orleans after finding out her ex has a new partner. Living in Perth, New Orleans seems far enough away to escape and make a new start. She is joined a short time later by her daughter Zoe who is also escaping a marriage breakdown. In this exciting new city full of interesting people, they are forced to confront their fears - particularly of having their hearts broken again.

I absolutely loved this book. It is a follow on from The Art of Keeping Secrets (which I had forgotten I had read at first!) but can be read as a stand alone novel. The characters are really engaging and I loved reading about how they dealt with situations and how they grew through the different challenges they faced. I also loved reading about New Orleans - in this time of not being able to travel, it was the escapism I needed!

This is a really easy read and I highly recommend it to everyone who wants a break from reality and wants to be transported to New Orleans.
