An Optimist's Guide to Heartbreak
(2023)(The first book in the Heartsong Duet series)
A novel by Jennifer Hartmann
From USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Hartmann, comes a brand new, heartfelt, two-book romance series.
There once was a girl with fireflies in her eyes and music in her soul.
(Remember her... she's important.)
She's the reason I panic-bought the little brick house on Maple Street; the one I lived next door to for eight magical years. Now that I'm back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I can’t stop thinking about the two people who grew up here.
You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstance turned us into nothing more than memories.
That’s why I applied for a job at his auto shop—unprepared to discover that my new boss, Cal Bishop, is now gruff, built, and covered in tattoos.
I'm the sun to his overcast sky. The smile to his surly solitude.
A reminder of everything he longs to forget.
But my heart has a secret, and we’re running out of time to fix our torn pages.
Maybe... the same girl who used to be the glue still holds the key to putting our pieces back together.
(See? I told you she was important.)
Toodles,
Lucy
REVIEWS★★★★★“An impeccably structured story about the enduring power of love. An untraditional love story of Epic Proportions.” - Shabby, BookBistroBlog
"I fell so hard for An Optimist's Guide to Heartbreak, a slow-burning, second-chance, grumpy-sunshine romance that's laugh-out-loud funny, wonderfully witty and wise, and beautifully and brilliantly told. It's a romance every reader must feel." - Karen, Bookalicious Babes Blog
"Jennifer Hartmann is a master of the details, the little things that make you sit back and think 'wow.' This book is no exception. In fact, it's a blaring reminder of how incredible her writing continues to be. It left me speechless as I turned the final page." - darkcoffeedarkerreads
"If Jennifer Hartmann's stories continue to be as good as An Optimist's Guide to Heartbreak, I'd gladly rip out my own heart, hand it to her, and say thank you as I anxiously await the second half of this duet." - INeedABookBreak
"I don't need to tell you how Jennifer Hartmann can bring extreme emotion to life. I cried, but it was not always from sadness. Sometimes it was from the overwhelming sense of hope and redemption threaded throughout the story." - PP's Bookshelf
“An Optimist's Guide to Heartbreak left me feeling emotionally invested and completely captivated. The story had a powerful impact on me and the ending left me desperate for more.” - Cheri, Kindle Crack Book Reviews
“I am writing this with a knot of emotions in my chest and tears in my eyes. Ms. Hartmann has done it again. She destroyed me as I swim around in the emotions I am now experiencing. This story is SO flipping good.” - Cali Girl, Amazon reviewer
Genre: New Adult Romance
