Heartsick unpacks the destruction of love by following the true stories of three lives altered by a major heartbreak.I wrote this book for the person who doesn’t want to be told that this too shall pass. Not yet. Who wants to sit with it. And see it for what it is. Who wants to know they’re not alone. That their pain is at once unique and universal.
