I know Susan and have worked with her while she was writing this book, so I am probably biased. I am also enamored of this book. She killed it with this, and I am so delighted and so proud of her. What a gorgeous, adorable, life-affirming little book. It deserves the world and more !!

Thank you, Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire, for the free advanced copy for my honest review!

I loved the romance! they understood each and could be themselves together. The chemistry between them was amazing! I also loved the slow-burn and the sexual tension between the main characters. There were several scenes that made me blush and smile so much. The writing is beautiful and descriptive. I honestly felt like I was living in the world with the characters. I felt so many emotions while reading this book, I cried, I laughed and I smiled. This book will stay in my heart for a long time.

opiniao sincera para NetGalley em troca de uma copia avancada

The Broken Hearts Club is a fun & quirky Young Adult romance.

Imogen, our FMC, has never been in love but feels that she should be since her mum is a renowned matchmaker. Imogen has been faking a long distance relationship with August Tate for the last year, without his knowledge until August realises and makes contact. Imogen promptly "breaks up" with August, which seems like good timing because her long-time crush Ren is finally single. But as Imogen soon finds herself juggling both Ren and August.

Overall, this was a quick, high school based read. I loved how the fake dating and love triangle tropes were used in this story and it gave everything a fun & comedic approach. There was also some added depth with Imogen discovering her artistic style but unearthing some old family secrets. It ticks all of the YA Romcom boxes.

Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Fire and Netgalley for gifting me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Imogen has yet to be in love, despite being the daughter of a matchmaker. So she comes up with the grand scheme of making up a boyfriend. However that all goes south when the boy she based everything off of comes back to town.

This book was pretty cute and sweet I really like Mo as a character. and I adored her relationship with august. Overall the story was pretty cute and fast paced.

I was a bit skeptical when I started this book because a lot of the YA books I recently read disappointed me. But the premise sounded interesting and like something I would really enjoy.

This is a very interesting book about fake dating and young love. When Imogen fakes a relationship to get people off her back, the last thing she ever expects is for the guy she was using as a stand to find and be flattered. While he seems to be interested in why he was chosen, Imogen must fake that they are dating. When the fake dating turns real, hearts might actually be broken.

This book has all the markings of a great book. Cute concept, nicely written but it just wasn’t right for me and I DNF’d 20% in.

Although a predictable story and plot it was still entertaining and satisfied my craving for a fluffy rom com.

I am generally a fan of a matchmaker storyline, so I was glad to get a chance to read The Broken Hearts Club by Susan Bishop Crispell. It's a cute, sweet, fast read for lovers of YA rom coms.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

This was cute and fun read! I enjoyed it!!!

I'll totally recommend it if you're in a reading slump! can't wait to read more of the author!

Definitely add this book to your TBR. It would be a perfect summer read, but it provides all the warm fuzzies any time of year. I have been a huge fan of Susan's writing ever since her first book. I am so grateful to our mutual IRL friend for introducing me to the delightful world of Susan's books. This is a YA romance featuring fake dating, love triangles, young love, and summer vibes.
I received a review copy and all opinions are my own.

This book was so cute and summery and sweet!!

I loved that our main character does photography, as that was a big interest to me. She was such a cute and wholesome character and I loved reading this fun but beautiful coming of age story. The love triangle was so well done, the character development was amazing, the characters were so likeable, and this was a story that feels fit for all ages. It was such a fun book and I only wish I’d read it in the summer for those perfect sunny, laying by the beach with a book in your hand vibes.

The Broken Heart's Club was such a sweet coming-of-age romance mixed with a bit of magic. I had a great time reading this. It is a perfect YA beach read. If you loved books by Rachel Lynn Solomon or Mazey Eddings' Tilly in Technicolor, you will enjoy this story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

To be honest, I had pretty low expectations of this book but the story and part blew me away. I really enjoyed reading it and thought the character development was done so well. I would continue to buy and read books by this author.

A cute one
Perfect book to curl up with and to get lost in
Will have you hooked from the first page
Thanks NetGalley for this book. I thik I would never pick it, if it wasn on Netgalley

I was very bored reading this and I felt like it just dragged on and on. Definitely would be great for some readers but just didn't interest me very much.

The Broken Hearts Club is a very unique story with a lovable main character and bits of magical realism thrown in for good measure. It ouched on a variety of issues that completely surprised me and I couldn't put it down. It's a sweet and light young adult novel that asks some really great questions and focuses on identity and self-discovery, which I loved. I wish I had this book when I was younger!
