Notes on Heartbreak

Rezensionen / Stimmen

It's good, all of this - nearly everyone knows the specific, towering grief of being walked out on by the person whose limbs they woke up tangled in in the morning, but few write about it so directly, so unblinkingly. * The Times * A book on love and loss to get the emotions (read: tears) flowing. One of this summer's most anticipated books * Bustle * She writes about intimacy in a way that's relatable, poetic and makes you think that maybe your own heartbreaks are really as quietly earth-shattering as you thought they were... It's a sparkling and deliciously indulgent read which gets right into your chest and stays with you afterwards. It's someone else's story, but it will make you think about your own. * VICE * The book is cleverly structured and written with unflinching honesty * THE IRISH TIMES * Annie Lord's unhinged but unflinchingly honest memoir delivers up some relatable introspection when it comes to love and loss, ripe for exploring one of the most universal experiences in humanity * REFINERY29 * A deep meditation on the anguish of a modern heartbreak, where Lord's unique writing helps the emotions fly * The Candid Bookclub, The Guardian * Annie Lord released her debut book in 2022 and, if you've ever been through a breakup, it's sure to get you in your feels. This release charts the ups and downs of a long-term relationship and explores the ways it slowly began to come apart - all with a precise, unsparing eye. * COSMOPOLITAN * An unflinching and raw exploration of a relationship and its ending, taking in all the joy, pain and messiness of being in love * SHEERLUXE * Your perception of love, life and starting afresh will be altered for the better * The I Paper * It's painful, cathartic and beautifully written - The Best Books of 2022 * TIME OUT * Vogue dating columnist Annie Lord's debut, Notes on Heartbreak, is a visceral yet funny recollection of the breakdown of her five-year-relationship, told in her distinctive, lyrical style . . . It's difficult to write about experiences as complex as love and heartbreak without sounding either cheesy or melodramatic, but somehow, Lord nails it. Anyone who's ever been unceremoniously dumped will find themselves furiously underlining the book's most resonant passages * The Best Books of 2022 - DAZED * Raw and beautifully tender * Suitcase Magazine * Annie Lord's visceral exploration of love and heartbreak will resonate with us all. * STYLIST * The debut book from Vogue's dating columnist is heartbreaking, touching, funny - and one to be shared around all your friends who despair about modern dating, whether they're recovering from heartbreak or not * GRAZIA * Notes On Heartbreak is a seamless transition from columns to books for Annie Lord, who maintains her magnetic writing style over a longer form . . . Watch out for people crying, laughing and reciting passages to friends and family, as they cling to this book * THE HERALD * It is an unflinchingly honest reminder of the simultaneous joy and pain of being in love that will resonate with anyone that has ever nursed a broken heart * RTE Online * Free of pretence and painfully relatable for anyone who has ever dealt with heartbreak, this cathartic retelling acts as a reminder of the dichotomies of love - the euphoric highs and crushing lows - and its beautiful, messy realities * Luxury London *
