The Book of Love

In the magical sequel to The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers by Lynn Weingarten, Lucy must break the sisterhood's curse before she loses her chance at true love.

Since she joined the Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers, Lucy's life has been perfect. Girls want to be her. Boys want to date her. She has access to magic. And her broken heart has completely healed. Her only regret is that her best friend, Tristan, is still hurting from her rejection.

As she searches for a way to heal Tristan's heart, she discovers the truth behind her initiation into the sisterhood—and that her sisters have unimaginable secrets they've been keeping from her. Trapped in a group she no longer trusts, Lucy realizes it just might be better to risk a broken heart than to never fall in love again.

What happens when the only way to save the boy you hurt is to betray the magical sisterhood that healed you?

• Best Friend Romance: Her magic healed her own broken heart, but it came at a cost: Tristan, her best friend. Now Lucy will do anything to fix the damage she caused, even if it means risking everything.

• Consequences of Magic: This contemporary YA fantasy explores the dark side of power and asks a difficult question: is it better to risk a broken heart than to never fall in love again?

When you gain a heart that can't be broken, what do you lose?

Sequel to The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers

The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers has given Lucy everything she thought she wanted. Gone is the poor, innocent girl pining away for a guy who didn't deserve her, and in her place is a fierce, fabulous Heartbreaker with glamorous sisters, an unbreakable heart, and access to magic.

The only problem is this: Lucy's floppy-haired, blues-playing best friend, Tristan, is in pain. And she's powerless to help him.

Or is she?

It's time for the annual Heartbreaker competition—a chance for Lucy and her sisters to win The Book of Love, an ancient tome containing centuries' worth of Heartbreaker wisdom, and maybe, just maybe, enough magic to fix Tristan's heart for good.

Lucy will do whatever it takes; if it helps to fix her friend, she knows it's worth it. At least she thinks she knows.

As Lucy goes deeper into the world of the sisterhood, she learns that even those closest to her have unimaginable secrets and that when it involves magic, nothing comes without a price. . . .
