Instructions for Heartbreak Handyside Sarah (2025)

A beautiful, sharp and life-affirming novel about female friendship, self-love and surviving a broken heart. When Katies nine-year relationship ends suddenly and brutally, she turns to her friends Dee, Liv and Rosa, who create a handbook to help her process her heartbreak and rebuild her life. Filled with notes on tears, hangovers, roast chicken, music, new bedding and pure, white-hot rage, the handbook soon proves relevant to all four women. Rosa is still reeling from her exs infidelity, Dee is determined to remain commitment-free after being hurt by her former partner, and Liv wonders whether ending her relationship was really the right choice. As major changes test even their closest friendships, the women discover that the words written for Katie may be exactly what they all need to hear.
