Experience all the feels in this unforgettable second-chance standalone romance from number-one New York Times best-seller Lauren Blakely!
I didn’t break her heart, and she didn’t break mine – we broke each other’s.
I never stopped loving her, but time and distance played its cruel role in ripping us apart three years ago when she moved halfway around the world. Now after all those endless miles away, she’s returned…but I’m not the guy I was before.
Beautiful, kind, and loving, she’s the same – my hope. The only one who can make a day better, who can make me feel again with one kiss, one touch, one night.
There’s so much I have to put back in place now that I’m alone and on my own. Things I never wanted at the age of 25. When I receive an unexpected letter that might hold the clues to everything I desperately need to understand about my family, I’m sure I have to follow it. But that means leaving her once more.
She says she’ll come with me, and having her by my side will unbreak my heart…or destroy it.
That’s the chance I have to take.

“Unbreak My Heart is about the journey of healing, finding peace, and having a second chance at love. Such a great listen. Blakely tells a heartfelt story about letting go and learning to cope with grief the right way…. Joe Arden delivers a perfect narration as Andrew…[Erin Mallon] nails it EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!” (Jocqueline, The Audio Flow)
Review:
Unbreak My Heart was a bit different from the other Lauren Blakely books I’ve read before–less rom-com-y, more angsty. Andrew in particular has more true issues than most of her characters tend to–he’s grieving his brother’s death, flirting with a possible addiction, and is generally feeling very lost. He had a once-upon-a-time relationship with Holland several years ago that ended when they went to colleges on different continents, but she’s back now (or is she?) and he knows he still loves her and wants to be with her but isn’t sure if she feels the same or if it could work.
A letter from his brother’s girlfriend inspires Andrew to take a trip to Japan (Holland goes too, as she’s coincidentally going to be starting a new job there soon) to find out some truths about his brother’s last few months on earth. Can he possibly find out some truths about himself as well?
(Spoiler alert: yes, he does.)
Andrew’s journey was at times painful, at other times uplifting. A few of his problems felt as if they were resolved a tad bit *too* quickly, but the ending/epilogue was truly wonderful–and his dog? Don’t even get me started on the awesomeness that is his dog 🙂
The audiobook was nicely read by dual narrators–the story is told in alternation first person POV–though the decision to have each narrator read their respective character’s text messages was a teensy bit jarring. The audio version also had a bonus novella at the end– The Start of Us , the first book in Ms. Blakely’s new adult No Regrets series–read by the same narrator duo.
Rating: 4 stars / B+
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
