Notes on Heartbreak: From Vogue’s Dating Columnist, the must-read book on love and letting go

Product Information

Writing about it really helped because it felt like I was still sitting in bed crying all day, but now it was also work. Yet, I regularly work weeks like this and my whole life is about juggling, so why, with a book I was enjoying so much, was it taking me so long to read?

Anyway, I’ll look forward to the next dating article in vogue because they move me in ways that I had expected this book to do.Sometimes scathing, often graciously understanding, it also captured a beautifully raw message of healing and growth after being so royally broken at the hands of the person who was meant to always be there to piece you back together. I wonder if I am focusing on the idea that he kept this secret because the reality of him actually leaving is too big to comprehend. I was definitely lingering over it and taking my time with it, because despite reading like a novel, it was still non-fiction and that, for some reason, always slows my reading down by at least twenty-five percent, at a minimum.

It’s a love that doesn’t feel like it’s going to burn through my chest, or bring me to tears, send me to your door in the middle of the night. It’s one of those books that unconsciously starts inhabiting all corners of your brain in such a beautiful, cathartic way. The creation of a shared experience is evidently key to her success in gaining a readership who see their own anxieties, triumphs and losses in love reflected in Lord’s words.I wonder if I should ring my parents, but then I remember the way Dad held onto Joe’s shoulders after dinner. Men say women aren't funny and I think that's because they need a badum-bum-tish punchline; they don't see that the humour is riddled through everything we say, so that evervone's always laughing a little bit.
