"Don’t settle. . . . You see something, some chance for something great, you take it. You grab your keys and jump on your bike and go, no regrets."
I first learn about "The Book of Broken Hearts" last year from the We need diverse books campaign. I seriously should have picked it up then but held off. Big mistake! The story just captured me and I really loved it. I read it all in one day because I couldn't get enough. As a Latina it was awesome to see Spanish spoken correctly in a book and translated correctly as well. Seriously it was done beautifully and I'm also craving some South American food. Empanadas anyone? Speaking of campaigns, where's the campaign on we need more Latin book boyfriends? Cause Emilio Vargas needs to lead the list. lol.
"The Book of Broken Hearts" had me in tears and laughing out loud. I really loved the characters, the writing style and all the emotions it caused me to have.
I definitely reading more from Sarah Ockler and will highly recommend this book to fans of YA.
Product Description
Jude has learned a lot from her older sisters, but the most important thing is this: The Vargas brothers are notorious heartbreakers. She’s seen the tears and disasters that dating a Vargas boy can cause, and she swore an oath—with candles and a contract and everything—to never have anything to do with one.
Now Jude is the only sister still living at home, and she’s spending the summer helping her ailing father restore his vintage motorcycle—which means hiring a mechanic to help out. Is it Jude’s fault he happens to be cute? And surprisingly sweet? And a Vargas?
Jude tells herself it’s strictly bike business with Emilio. Her sisters will never find out, and Jude can spot those flirty little Vargas tricks a mile away—no way would she fall for them. But Jude’s defenses are crumbling, and if history is destined to repeat itself, she’s speeding toward some serious heartbreak…
But what if her sisters were wrong?
Jude may have taken an oath, but she’s beginning to think that when it comes to love, some promises might be worth breaking.
