Lessons in Heartbreak
Quotes from the Book
We only run scared from the things that matter. And every time we do, they just get bigger in our minds until we can’t see anything past that. Until you wake up one day and realize that whatever you’re afraid of isn’t bigger than the thing you want.
Trusting people isn’t just about letting them see what’s inside you, sometimes you have to trust that they can show you a different view of the world than the one you thought to be true. A different view of love and friendship and life
There’s a lot of people in this world who aren’t worth your tears, angel, but your dad is one of them
You should miss him. I think any time we lose someone that important, missing them is what makes us know we’re not dead inside
Grief is weird. Some days I can go hours without thinking about the fact that he’s gone. It wasn’t like that the first couple of months. It just changes one day, and you don’t even realize how it happened. It sneaks up so quietly, this invisible barrier that slowly stretches out the amount of time between those thoughts. And then you go, oh yeah, I’m still really sad about this
Let them talk, sweetheart. The people who matter don’t mind, and the people who mind don’t matter.

About the book
It’s no secret that I’ve been in love with Jax Cartwright for half my life. A terrible decision, really, and not just because he’s my brother’s best friend or he’s ten years older than me.
Thanks to an overprotective family, he’s ignored me for years, but still, I can’t get his grumpy a** out of my head. And in a wine-fueled, post-bad date funk, I make another terrible decision: show up at his cabin to ask why he’s never given me a chance.
The storm that got me stuck there overnight was a total fluke, but I’m no fool. While Jax is perfectly clear about not wanting a family or love or any of the happily-ever-afters I’ve dreamed of, what’s the harm in asking for just one night? The worst thing he can say is no.
He doesn’t though, and I was saying yes, yes, yes a whole lot after that.
Best. Decision. Ever.
One night is enough to feel like I can move on, and we agree to let it
