Margo Rabb’s critically acclaimed debut novel Cures for Heartbreak—a somber yet humorous depiction of love, loss, and new beginnings—has been reissued with a stunning new look.
Less than two weeks after fifteen-year-old Mia Pearlman’s mother is diagnosed with cancer, she dies, leaving Mia, her older sister, and their father to face this sudden and unfathomable loss. As Mia struggles to navigate her grief, she’s also forced to examine the truth about her parents’ rocky marriage, her unexpected feelings for a guy with leukemia, and the nagging health phobias that plague her on a daily basis. Ultimately, her journey down this road slowly paves the way for hope amid immeasurable loss.
In this heartfelt novel that Michael Chabon called “sad, funny, smart, and endlessly poignant,” Margo Rabb dives deep into the complicated emotions that befall a family after the death of a loved one.
My Review:
Cures for Heartbreak was read I one day. Mostly because I wanted to read a book that day since it was so cold and nice that I felt like reading it in one sitting.
It wasn't at all a story that was represented in the cover. Like AT ALL. It's so weird because I thought it was going to be a fun book. Yeah, I knew that it was about a girl whose mom dies but I thought that after she'd made some friends that would help her cope. But it was not like that. I repeat. AT. ALL.
It was a good book. I liked the part where her love interest shows up. And I say. "shows up" because he was barely in the story. But he was cute and smart and I was rooting for him to be happy.
Our main character, Mia, in this was so young and childish but the fact that she was going through so much without someone actually fully understanding what she was going through, made her so mature. Like she was much older than she actually was.
And I kind of wish her sister was there for her but that's what happens when the age difference between siblings is big. You kind of don't understand each other a well as siblings that have a shorted age difference.
Having read this book I can now tick off one book read in the Romanceopoly. As a part of my 2019 Reading Challenges.
I decided to not add the amazon, and barns & noble links because its unnecessary. I was just adding them in case some of you were interested in the book and wanted to find out or get one for yourselves.
