A Debutiful Best Nonfiction Book of the Year
If you've ever lurked on an ex's Instagram or obsessed over how a relationship fell apart, Notes on Heartbreak might be for you. - Marie Claire
Arresting and vivid, raw and breathtaking ... told with stunning originality. Annie Lord is a phenomenal talent. ?Dolly Alderton, author of Everything I Know About Love
An electrifying debut. ?Caroline O'Donoghue, author of The Rachel Incident
With the incisive wit and depth of Dolly Alderton and Sally Rooney, a fierce, funny, and unflinching memoir about the exhilaration of love and the pain of its ending, from an acclaimed British Vogue writer.
You never forget your first love--or your first true heartbreak. Annie Lord is going through a devastating breakup after a five-year relationship with someone she thought she'd be with forever. Try as she might, she can't stop reliving the past, obsessively examining every moment that led to this point.
When she's not having disastrous rebound sex or stalking her ex on Instagram, Annie puts every moment of their history under a microscope, trying to understand where things went wrong and why. The answers, when they come, will surprise her as much as anyone.
Notes on Heartbreak is an engrossing and emotionally evocative account of love and loss that will resonate with anyone who has ever nursed a broken heart, been in a codependent relationship, or has come to understand that romantic partnerships are infinitely more complex than what we experience in the moment. It is a deeply personal and insightful book about the best and worst of love and how it can upend our lives: the euphoria and the desolation, the beauty and the cruelty.
