Customer Reviews

A delightful, wacky read!

Heartbreaker is a tapestry of pointed and often wacky anecdotes peppered with a little sex and spiced liberally with the personal introspections of main character, Tina, who is a professional "Heartbreaker". An appreciable fantasy feast of revenge for women who have encountered the worst in the worst types of contemporary men and survived. A delightful read for any afternoon!

You go, Girls.

If there was ever a novel for feminine empowerment, this may very well be it. The female lead is unflinching in her quest to help the heartbroken and her cohorts (who happen to be strippers --how's that for feminity?) never waver from their slight distaste of men and all that is wrong with them. The humour is very understated and I found myself spitting up coffee several times after I'd read a particuliar line. Now what I really liked about this book, as it is a chick book, is the that the author kept me guessing whether or not the lead character was going to do her love interest in. Not literally, of course. It's a great concept and a great read.
