How to Mend a Broken Heart
Rachael Johns
Reviewed by Helen
Thank you, thank you, thank you Rachael Johns for the perfect story for Felicity Bell, I have been waiting for this story since I read The Art of Keeping Secrets and it rocked, I loved it so much from page one the setting is awesome, New Orleans was the best and the emotion and feelings that flowed throughout made everything come to life, this is a story that is a must read even if you haven’t read The Art of keeping secrets.
It has been four tears since Flick’s life changed, her ex has found someone else her children, Zoe and Toby are settled and now is the time for Flick to find herself and do something for her future, she loves her job as a taxidermist and when an opportunity arises for her to go to New Orleans for three months on a working holiday she jumps at it although very excited she is also worried but it is time for a new start, life in New Orleans will open up a whole new world for her and see her stepping up and finding herself.
Zoe has been married for four years now and is more than ready to start a family but when her husband Beau shatters her dreams and her life, she needs her mother and a trip to New Orleans is a must to see her, Zoe throws herself into the life in The French Quarter but is it the right thing for her.
Flick and Zoe have both been hurt in love and neither are looking for it again but when Flick meets her neighbour Theo the bar owner and jazz singer and gets to know him she feels herself opening up to him, she feels so good with him, is a holiday fling what she wants or will it be something more and for Zoe her meeting with ghost hunter Jack sees her emotions running wild. When they meet Aurelia Harranibar an artist Zoe becomes an instant friend but what do these three woman have in common, can they leave their pasts behind and look to the future?
I loved this story so much, Flick is so caring and loving and seeing her find that love and happiness for herself in such a gorgeous city was an awesome journey, Zoe opened up and matured in a way that had me cheering her on and Aurelia was so very different but I loved her. Rachael Johns has taken me on a fabulous journey to New Orleans I felt like I was there with the descriptions of the city and the food and the drinks and the fabulous people who live there, it is a story to immerse yourself in and feel everything the characters are feeling, a must read in my opinion, it truly is fabulous, thank you Rachael Johns this one is a keeper and is going to stay with me for a long time to come.
My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy to read and review.
