Waiting on The Book of Broken Hearts
This week I’m impatiently waiting on The Book of Broken Hearts, a book by a favorite YA autho of mine, Sarah Ockler.
Jude has learned a lot from her older sisters, but the most important thing is this: The Vargas brothers are notorious heartbreakers. She’s seen the tears and disasters that dating a Vargas boy can cause, and she swore an oath — with candles and a contract and everything — to never have anything to do with one.
Now Jude is the only sister still living at home, and she’s spending the summer helping her ailing father restore his vintage motorcycle. No one wants to end up with a toaster on wheels, so they hire a mechanic to help out. Is it Jude’s fault he happens to be cute? And surprisingly sweet? And a Vargas?
Jude tells herself it’s strictly bike business with Emilio. Her sisters will never find out, and Jude can spot those flirty little Vargas tricks a mile away — no way would she fall for them. But old warnings fade fast, because Emilio turns out to be the first guy in forever she likes. Really likes. Jude’s defenses are crumbling, and if history is destined to repeat itself, she’s speeding toward some serious heartbreak…
But what if her sisters were wrong?
Jude may have taken an oath, but she’s beginning to think that when it comes to love, some promises might be worth breaking.
I have this on in my TBR list as well. Sound really good and I love the cover! Great pick 🙂
Liza’s WOW
Love the cover, with the heart, the "loves me, loves me not" AND the book. It's great!
YUP. This is on the TBR. As is Bittersweet. I actually have a copy of Bittersweet, but I still haven't gotten to it. I'm trying to catch up on all my cute YA contemps over the holidays: Bittersweet, The Fault in Our Stars & The Statistical Probability of Love at First Site are all at the top of that list. Great pick! Thanks for sharing! Here's my WoW. Happy Wednesday! 😀
Bittersweet is a perfect holiday book — hope you love it!
This sounds like one I HAVE to read. I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before! Thanks so much for bringing it to my attention. 🙂
My W.O.W.
I'm very excited to read it!
This one does sound really good! I have a Sarah Ockler book out from the library right now — I've never tried her stuff, but her books do look pretty awesome. Can't wait to try her out! 🙂
I loved Bittersweet!
Cool book! I don;t think I have had the honor of reading a Sarah Ockler book. But I must remedy that fast. Thanks for the sharing.
I have not (yet) read Twenty Boy Summer but Bittersweet is a great contemporary. Loved it!
It sounds like a good book.

I haven't read Bittersweet yet but I want to read both of these. I've heard great things about the author.
My WOW
Haven't heard of this author before! Going to check out bittersweet 🙂
Yes! Bittersweet made me a major fan of Ockler's. can't wait to read this one!
Ooh! This one sounds so good! I love the cover a lot too! :))
Happy Reading!
This was my WOW pick this week too! I haven't read many of Sarah Ockler's books, but I did read Bittersweet, and loved it so much! I can't wait for this one; the premise sounds so good!
Happy Reading!
I still need to read Bittersweet, but this one sounds really good too. Great pick!!
I have not read anything by Sarah Ockler, although I have wanted to for quite a while. All her books are on my TBR list. haha
Thanks for sharing! 🙂

added to my tbr list. Books like this are the reason I love contemporary romance.
I've been meaning to read Bittersweet FOREVER, and now she already has another book coming out? And this one sounds just as good. 🙂 Great pick!
My WoW Pick!
Very contemporaries really catch my interest, but this one totally does! I love the idea of a somewhat forbidden romance! Thank you for sharing this one.

Jenea @ Books Live Forever's WoW
Great pick! Adding to my TBR for sure! I loved Bittersweet too! Looking forward to this one 🙂
I've always wanted to pick up Bittersweet but I've never gotten around to it. I really loved Twenty Boy Summer. I would definitely love to check this one out, when its available 🙂
that sounds like an interesting book!
I loved Twenty Boy Summer and this one sounds awesome. How have I not heard of it before?
Argh! I have Twenty Boy Summer and still haven't read it (WHAT is wrong with me!) This, like all of Ockler's books sounds amazing. And I hadn't yet heard of this one so great choice!
Plus I LOVE the name Jude. Totally reminds me of The Crying Game:)
Great choice. This book sounds so good! I can't wait to read it.
My Wow
My husband even loves The Cutting Edge – and I never forced him to watch it. His favorite quote is "Toe pick" of course. That's all he has to say and I know what he is watching.
I am behind on my Ockler books (in fact I've only read one-eep) but I like the sound of this cute contemporary-how bad can those Vargas brothers be?
You can count me in too. Sounds great.
Now I want to chase up the movie & watch it again.
