<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The story of a book club of broken hearts, where four women come together and discover the power of female friendship and find the courage to pursue their dreams, from the USA Today bestselling author of My Ex-Best Friend's Wedding. Jazmine was supposed to be a professional tennis player, but her plans to go pro were quashed in a car crash. Now she's a top sports agent balancing a demanding career and single motherhood. Judith is an empty nester stuck in an unhappy marriage. After her husband's sudden death, she has to build a new life--one she never allowed herself to imagine--on top of the ashes of the old. When Sara finds out that her husband has left her for a secret second family in another city, she believes she's hit rock bottom...until her husband steals all of his mother's money, and Sara gets a new roommate--her mother-in-law. Erin was a week away from marrying her high school sweetheart when her fiancâe called off the wedding. Heartbroken, Erin is forced to navigate adulthood as a single woman for the first time. Once a month, these women meet in a historic carriage house in Atlanta seeking solace, friendship, and people who share their love of books (okay, and wine). Together, with a lot of inspiration from their favorite books, they help one another move forward, to discover who they want to be now and what will make them happy"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>Named one of 2021's Best Beach Reads by <i>Bustle</i> ∙ <i>Country Living</i> ∙ <i>Cosmopolitan</i> ∙ <i>Augusta Chronicle</i> ∙ E! Online ∙ PureWow <b>∙</b> SheReads ∙ and more!</b> <p/>Breakups, like book clubs, come in many shapes and sizes and can take us on unexpected journeys as four women discover in this funny and heartwarming exploration of friendship from the <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of <i>Ten Beach Road</i> and <i>My Ex-Best Friend's Wedding</i>.</b> <p/> On paper, Jazmine, Judith, Erin and Sara have little in common - they're very different people leading very different lives. And yet at book club meetings in an historic carriage house turned bookstore, they bond over a shared love of reading (and more than a little wine) as well as the growing realization that their lives are not turning out like they expected. <p/> Former tennis star Jazmine is a top sports agent balancing a career and single motherhood. Judith is an empty nester questioning her marriage and the supporting role she chose. Erin's high school sweetheart and fiancé develops a bad case of cold feet, and Sara's husband takes a job out of town saddling Sara with a difficult mother-in-law who believes her son could have done better - not exactly the roommate most women dream of. <p/> With the help of books, laughter, and the joy of ever evolving friendships, Jazmine, Judith, Erin and Sara find the courage to navigate new and surprising chapters of their lives as they seek their own versions of happily-ever-after.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>One of <i>Cosmopolitan</i>'s 20 Books to Read This Summer <p/>"<i>The Break-Up Book Club</i> is a glorious celebration of female friendships and empowerment.
