About this listen

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?

Fun little story

Just the little distraction I needed from a long week. The characters are fun with the story not being too deep. Love how Regan Linton manages the different voices of the characters well. Fun story recommend.

Sassy and witty

this was a new author and narrator for me. I was immediately engaged both in the story line and the narrators performance. I enjoyed all of the characters but I think I liked Jake best. His outlook on life appears laid back but he has empathy and passion for life and those he cares about. There were life lessons and truth under that humor, I really enjoyed the book.

Unfair Review Please Ignore

The story of a fun woman in a wheelchair sounded great to me. But I quickly started to feel insulted by the disrespect through offensive language (a lot of stories do this) and the accompany attitude of I can offend you but don’t you offend me. I got this all in the first five minutes and could not give the book a fair chance. There please defer to reviews by those that finished or at least made it through the first hour. Thanks

A different perspective never hurts

There's a lot of reviews about a pushy edge to the writers views on LGBTQ+ and disability language and perspective in this book. So much so that many reviews said it was preachy.
I'd like to offer an alternative view to this. I appreciated the different perspective and insight to daily struggles of a disabled individual, and though they were mentioned, as obviously the main character is in a wheel chair so that's her life, I don't think it was pushy or shoved down your throat all. As far as the LGBTQ+ being preachy, that's humerous to me, because there's not a whole lot surrounding that, aside from the fact that there are members of the community that are in the story...

I enjoyed the read, it was a cute story, if you're on the fence I'd say push play and see where that takes you.

Shaky beginning give it a chance.

I got through chapter one and thought, this is too modern. I got through chapter two and kept on going.

highly enjoyable

I really felt the strong, supportive female friendships in this book.

The main character did a lot of growing. I don't think she was being as immature as she was sometimes portrayed, just wounded. As soon as she fully realized how her pain, and her coping mechanisms, were hurting others, she worked on herself.

My only complaint is that she wasn't the only one who had work to do in her family. Her father was selfish, and grieving in his way, but he got a pass for how his way hurt his daughters. They did not get a pass for how their grief impacted him for some reason. I did not like the stepmother's comment about the main character forcing the father to chose between his daughter and love. There are many types of love, and romantic love is often allowed to run roughshod over familial love or love between chosen family.

The evil boss had many traits we underpaid lower rung of the ladder types may find familiar. When our heroines quit that job that was mining them for their talents, I cheared.

Npr Themes

I liked the book. The love story was lovely. I just was frustrated by threads of NPR and Snap Judgement story's that they woven in to the main story. I wished the authors more original.
