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

4.0

I agree with Jessie when she says that sometimes when you're going through something hard, you want to know someone else has felt the same way you have. Sometimes, what you need is stories that speak into what you're going through, not how-tos or self-help guides. You just want something that makes you feel less alone.

This is a truly absorbing account of three people falling in love and then their heartbreak. It isn't a breakup book about revenge or steps to moving on or filled with meaningless motivational quotes. It is true stories from real people of their experience with heartbreak.

I really enjoyed it, I love reading people's stories and I felt this was tangible and honest. I'd recommend it if you're going through a breakup, feel like reflecting on past relationships or just want to hear someone else's experience of love and heartbreak.
