Heartsick: Three Stories About Love, Pain, and What Happens in Between

Claire has returned to the dust and familiarity of her childhood home, only to realize something is wrong with her partner, Maggie. Patrick is a lonely college student, until he meets Caitlin—but does she feel as connected as he does? Ana is happily married with three young children. Then, one night, she falls in love with someone else.

Weaving together these three true stories of heartbreak, Jessie Stephens captures this painful but wholeheartedly universal experience. Deeply relatable, addictive to the very last page, and powerfully human. Heartsick reminds us that emotional pain can make us as it breaks us and that storytelling has the ultimate healing power.
