Viv Summers is the definition of a hopeless romantic. The thirtysomething has fooled herself into believing her handsome fiancé, Rob, is probably ready to commit. After he cancels their wedding for a third time, Viv works up the nerve to leave him — in the hope he’ll come crawling back. One desperate evening, she Googles “heartbreak” and decides the internet needs a place for the lovesick to connect. While she’s focused on launching her new site and obsessing over getting Rob back — even after he gets engaged to someone else — her career and other relationships start falling apart. A sparkling debut from U.K. author Emma Garcia that will have you cheering (and cringing!) for the heroine, through her most ridiculous, hilarious and painfully embarrassing antics.
Never Google Heartbreak, Emma Garcia, $16. Available at Indigo.ca and Amazon.ca.
