Bite Size Review: Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts by Kristyn J. Miller
**I received a free eARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review**
Margo “Go” Anderson and her best friend, Jocelyn “Jo” Hernandez, are the hosts of a popular podcast, Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts. The rules include things like not spending the night with your hookup, not waiting around for them to text back, and of course the big one: don’t catch feelings.
Yet when Jo falls in love and gets engaged what does that mean for the future of their podcast? That’s the question they try to answer during their two-week, all expenses paid, 2-in-1 vacation & wedding to Catalina Island. A question Margo thinks she has the answer to when she’s forced to spend time with Declan Walsh, a former classmate she strongly dislikes.
Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts by Kristyn J. Miller is an instant classic romcom. I was a little skeptical about the podcaster/influencer aspect (there are a few interactions Margo has with bartenders that left a bad taste in my mouth. My day job is bartending so I might be a little biased on that one) but Miller does a great job creating multi-faceted characters, avoiding falling into the trap of stereotypical superficial influencers.
I swear I was put through almost every emotion with this book. It was funny, it was frustrating (in a good way), it was heartwarming, and there were even moments that made me sad (Margo’s reasons for singledom were so relatable it hurt).
Miller’s debut was such a fun read that I found myself screaming (metaphorically), laughing out loud, throwing my kindle, and staying up until 3am just to finish and make sure Margo got her happy ending.
For fans of Emily Henry & How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts is a must-read.
