What to expect

“Together, we’re so much more than the sum of our broken hearts.”

Holly thought ending her co-dependent relationship of five-years would be tough. As it turns out, the new rules of singledom are even harder to play by.

Suddenly, she’s navigating love-bombers, f*ckboys, and the literal bin-fire that is modern dating. Thankfully, she has the world’s least-qualified, most dysfunctional support group by her side.

Together, they try to make better choices and stop falling for covert narcissists.

But as Holly soon discovers, a break-up shared is a break-up halved. But figuring out who you even are on your own is a whole other ordeal…

Warm and painfully relatable, this laugh-out-loud love story celebrates friendship, neurodiverse dating, and refusing to settle.

Sincerely yours, The Break-up Club.
