By the time I finished reading The Book of Broken Hearts I was in tears but smiling right through them. You see, this is the first time I read a book by Sarah Ockler, so up to now I've had to just take others for their word that her books are well-written. At first I wasn't so sure about Jude. Neith...
I haven’t had the greatest track record with Sarah Ockler’s books, so I was quite nervous coming into it. Really, I didn’t know why I gave her another chance, even though her earlier, and also more family focused, Fixing Delilah ended up working out pretty well, but I am glad I did. This is going ...
I expected a light summer read. Summer, motorcycles, hot guy.... Anyone? I got what I asked for, but I got so much more. What started out light and flirty soon become quite sad and serious at some parts. Jude`s dad has Alzheimer and his memory is fading quickly. Jude hopes that restoring dad`s belov...
This novel was powerful and well-written, however, the book didn't stand out from all the other contemporaries. I will try some more Sarah Ockler, as this book did have some good parts and I have heard so much praise. The tragic part was the father's case of Alzheimer's. This frequently left me in ...
This book broke my heart. It made me cry and laugh...at the same time. It is absolutely beautiful, heartbreaking, and soul-crushing...and then it heals you. Seriously, I can't really explain it. But I know I will read this book over and over again. (And I'm not huge on rereading.) In fact, I kind of...
A really sweet book, got me a little emotional because the thought of a parent having Alzheimer's is very hard to bear. I love the bond Jude had with her sisters and the fact she was trying so hard to help her father. The romance was good too, in overall an enjoyable contemporary!-- Full review to c...
I am a creeping fan of Sarah Ockler's, which is an awkward term I just coined that is supposed to mean that my being a fan of hers crept up on me. Like, I never noticed I was a fan until I suddenly realized I've read all her books and eagerly anticipate when the next comes out. At ALA Midwinter, I w...

She has planned a road trip with her friends later in the summer, but in the meantime sheìs helping her father restore his old Harley. Her father is coping with the onset of early...
It’s been a long time since the last time that I’ve read anything by this author. The last book that I read was Twenty Boy Summer and I remember really enjoying that one. I’ve been reading on different blogs and on Goodreads that people are really liking this book. Those reviews are what really p...
