Instructions for heartbreak

Handyside, Sarah2025
Books, Manuscripts
Subject: It starts with a late-night knock at the door. Dee, Liv and Rosa share a flat in South London, while Katie lives close by with her boyfriend. But when Katie's nine-year relationship ends - suddenly and brutally - she turns up on their doorstep with no idea what to do next. Out comes the martini shaker (an old, well-washed gherkin jar) and, with an unused sketchbook, an idea. They'll make Katie the handbook she needs to process her heartbreak and start rebuilding her life, with notes on everything from tears and hangovers to new bedding and white-hot rage. But Katie is not the only one nursing a broken heart. Rosa is a hopeless romantic, despite still reeling from her ex-boyfriend's infidelity. Scarred by an old flame's parting words, Dee is committed to being commitment-free. And while Liv knows that breaking up with her girlfriend was that she wanted, she can't help but wonder if she did the right thing. Tested by big life changes, even the closest friendships can fray. Could the heartbreak handbook contain the words they all need to hear?
