I loved this book. Seriously. Loved it. I loved it so much that I've been kicking myself for never having read a Sarah Ockler book before this. How have I not read any yet? I even own both Twenty Boy Summer and Bittersweet. What is wrong with me?! If those are anything like The Book of Broken Hearts...
Guys, I have to get one thing off my chest before starting this review: the summary is completely deceiving. I was expecting a cute summery book and this book is just so much more. There's this little sentence in the summary about Jude's ailing father. Which is what this book is actually about, it's...
“Family tragedies had a way of smashing everything apart and then gluing it all back together” This is a book about heart breaks. Heart breaks happen in all relationships, whether it’s your friends, your family or someone you’re in love with.It isn’t a romance, sure there is romance in it but the fo...
Surprisingly sweet. I'm not a fan of contemporary romance, but this isn't just another generic romance. In fact, I wouldn't put it under "romance" at all, because at the forefront of this novel is not a boy-girl relationship, but a father-daughter relationship. I've never had to deal with losing som...

I think this might be my favorite book by Sarah Ockler... Granted I haven't read Bittersweet yet... But still. Wow. A whole lot more than what I was expecting.
After I read and loved Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler earlier this year during my celebration of YA contemporary fiction, I jumped at the chance to read her upcoming The Book of Broken Hearts. After having read two superb books by Ockler, I've come to expect swoon-worthy love interests, and fasc...
Straight up I’m a major, major, major Sarah Ockler fan. She is one of my auto-buy authors so I truly don’t think she could do any wrong in my eyes. But I will admit when I started The Book of Broken Hearts I was nervous. I was really nervous because I wasn’t sure I liked Jude or how the story jumped...
3.5/5 starsThe Book of Broken Hearts was my third Sarah Ockler book. I have previously read Twenty Boy Summer and Bittersweet. Twenty Boy Summer was heartbreaking and beautiful while bittersweet disappointed me. As for The Book of Broken Hearts, it might not have left a deep mark on me, but in the e...
