Fierce, funny and raw, this unflinchingly honest exploration of heartbreak is so much more than a book about one single break-up

'Arresting and vivid, raw and breathtaking...told with stunning originality.' Dolly Alderton

'Painful while it sloughs away the dead romantic ideals, leaving you cleansed, reborn and gorgeously satisfied.' Pandora Sykes

'A beautiful tender messy brilliant generous open-hearted book.' Emma Gannon

This is a love story told in reverse. It's about the best and worst of love: the euphoric and the painful. The beautiful and the messy.

Reeling from a broken heart, Annie Lord revisits the past - from the moment she first fell in love, the shared in-jokes and intertwining of a long-term relationship, to the months that saw the slow erosion of a bond five years in the making.

It is an unflinchingly honest reminder of the simultaneous joy and pain of being in love that will resonate with anyone that has ever nursed a broken heart.

'An electrifying debut.' Caroline O'Donoghue

'Annie Lord tells us a story at once both specific and universal.' Shon Faye

Sorry. Hated it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2022

Verified Purchase

I was excited to read this but just felt the author wanted to show how "clever" they were in a very clunky style. After reading other reviews,I was disappointed. I honestly can't recommend this as it wasn't for me at all. But we are all different & you may like it. I did stick with it to the end but I was just relieved to finish it. Sorry

Well written and relatable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2022

Verified Purchase

This was much better than I expected. Annie has a very engaging writing style, as she picks apart the break up of a 5 year relationship. She explores what went wrong and how she picked herself up, in a way that anyone who has been through a heartbreak will be able to relate to. You kind of want them to get back together, but she has the self awareness to know that’s not what’s best for her.

Very funny and well observed, sad too, great holiday read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2022

Verified Purchase

This book made me laugh out loud, it's unbelievably honest. It's an easy read as it's quite gripping as you really want to find out what happens. It's very funny - particularly about what her friends and parents said about the break up. It's brave to be so honest and the writer really bares her soul to the reader. She's not the heroine who gets every man she wants which is really refreshing. I've bought this for four of my friends for their holidays - I totally recommend it.

Had I not been on holiday with this book, I would not have persevered.
There’s no substance to this, just a 20 year olds ramblings.

A beautifully written masterpiece on heartbreak

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2022

I took this book away with me for my 30th birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the weekend. I didn’t put it down until I finished it.

I’ve always loved Annie’s writing, her columns have always left me wanting more, and this book indulged me in exactly that.

The writing is so descriptive and immersive that it pulled me back to my own past heartbreak. It was almost reassuring to catch the similarities in my own experiences and, by the end, felt completely therapeutic.

I haven’t enjoyed a book like this for years. Thank you Annie for sharing such raw, beautiful writing with us.
