Isn't this cover lovely? So peaceful. Not so sure about the title, however. Who wants to know how to break their own heart? Not me.
Anyway, this book by Maggie Alderson was released at the beginning of last month,and the synopsis reads;
Do you always sleep in separate beds?’ A question from her outspoken friend Kiki shocks Amelia Bradlow into taking stock of her ‘perfect’ life. She might have the adoring husband, the flat in Mayfair and the weekend cottage, but what about the things that really matter? Like the unmentionable matter of the baby they haven’t had . . . Just when she is most confused, up pops gorgeous Joseph Renwick – the first boy she ever kissed – back in town and dangerously single. Struggling to put thoughts of him aside, Amelia makes some big changes. A reinvigorated career and a style makeover turn her into a new woman – but husband Ed preferred the old one. So with her internal clock ticking ever louder, Amelia has to decide whether to stay in her nearly happy marriage, or take a gamble on going solo. Is it better to break your own heart than to settle for second best?
Kind of sounds similiar to a lot of other books I have recently read, but I might have to get it purely for the pretty cover!
