Publisher's summary

Don’t miss this stunning debut rom-com that asks: Is love enough to win over a stone-cold heartbreaker?

Zelda Reynolds has a secret identity as “The Break-Up Artist,” the infamous ender of relationships. Don’t want to end your relationship yourself? Just tell Zelda through her website and she’ll get the job done like a pro. Her online business isn’t paying the bills yet, but at least it’s an escape from her real life, where her boss steals her best ideas, her dates are all duds, and her dad just married someone her own age.

When Zelda starts falling for the recipient of one of her snarkiest letters yet—a guy who is challenging her to let go of past hurts and reach for her dreams—will she have the courage to tell him the truth? Or will her undercover identity as the breaker of hearts come back to haunt her?

Forget the haters.

This is a modern love story for those with empathy. It's inclusive and sensitive.

Brave, Naughty, and Heart Breaking

Well written and well narrated, a young woman helps people break up until she tastes the results of her own medicine. Told with honesty and tenderness. A great audiobook

Entertaining and Inclusive But Weak Storyline

I loved how many diverse characters there were, but I fell like the story fell a bit flat. I think it felt a bit rushed.

You will like it$

Interesting characters that are brought to life by the narrator. You become truly vested and can’t wait to see how it all plays out.

this is hipster nonsense. i loved it.

the withheld truth trope kills me, but i needed to know how it ended; there were also other tropes that frustrated me, but idk if i get in there without spoiling anything. the story provides much-needed representation and i appreciated the growth of the main character. the narrator spoke super slowly.
overall, cute, mindless listening. good for saturday morning housekeeping. is that rude? i hope not.

First chapter hard to listen to

The first chapter is very woke and was hard to get through. I almost deleted the title several times. I decided to see if it got better with second chapter and was relieved somewhat. The story and characters were good, with only a few woke references through the rest of the book. Due to the woke references, I’m glad this was free and I won’t be getting another title from this author.

Fun, quick listen

This was a fun read to lighten my day. The main character had me infatuated from the beginning. I hope this becomes a series.

A satisfying listen

Funny, moving and entertaining story. I haven’t thought about some of the issues and situations raised, so greatly appreciated the authentic, honest and well-crated writing. Satisfying and a lot of fun, thank you Audible!
