Synopsis

'The poster girl for divorce.' The Times

'If you've ever had your heart broken (and who hasn't) Rosie Green's How to Heal a Broken Heart is your best friend. Honest, comforting and hopeful.' MARIAN KEYES

'I love Rosie Green's writing.' ELIZABETH DAY

'Brilliant. One of the few books that I've found that really describes what a broken heart feels like. It touched so many nerves.' VANESSA FELTZ

'It reduced me to tears.' EMMA BARNETT, Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 4

'It wasn't a conscious uncoupling. I had my heart ripped out and stamped on.'

When Rosie Green's husband walked out after 26 years together, he declined to leave a forwarding address. Instead, he left a devastated woman who turned into someone she barely recognised: unable to eat or sleep, and so desperate to keep her family together she'd sacrifice her sense of self - and her dignity.

She thought she'd never get over it. But she did. And so can you.

This is the frank, uplifting and insightful book Rosie wished she could have found when her whole world fell apart.

Here's your guide to getting through it - with advice from the experts, with the help of your friends, with a deliciously dark sense of humour and, for Rosie, with some highly inappropriate sex advice from her pre-teen daughter. Let her brilliantly honest handbook show how you can heal faster, understand yourself better and move on.

How to Heal a Broken Heart doesn't sugarcoat it - heartbreak brings you to your knees. But, sometimes, it also gives you a necessary shove towards a happier, more fulfilled life than you ever dreamed was possible.

Goodreads review by Lauren on March 31, 2021

I have to preface this by saying I am not a self-help book person. I don't even know if this is a self-help book; that's how much I am not a self-help book person (though I'm guessing it is because it tells me how to do something...). But that was before my whole life imploded and I exhausted all of......more

Goodreads review by Kay on May 04, 2021

I'm not going through a relationship breakup but the week I started reading this, I got the results of a DNA test back and found out my dad wasn't related to me. The grief was all consuming and very real and reading this book mirrored my journey, from finding a therapist to the emotional turmoil, to......more

Goodreads review by Emily Meese on December 03, 2024

Read this in two days. I never thought I would need a book like this, but after my husband of 15 years left me for another woman, I have never felt so heartbroken. Part divorce memoir, part self help, Rosie describes exactly how I am feeling and I am hoping I can also work through things to see some......more
