[amazon_link id=”1444741497″ target=”_blank” ][/amazon_link]’Never Google Heartbreak’ is Emma Garcia’s first novel.

Viv is heartbroken, her fiancé Rob has called off their engagement for the third time, the only option is to go online and she does what any girl would do, she Googles heartbreak. Everywhere she is greeted by tales of misery and confusion, so she decides to take matters into her own hands and sets up her own self help website for the broken hearted. But as Viv passes through the three essential stages of heartbreak, she becomes determined that it’s not too late to win Rob back.

Through Viv’s own experiences and those of other distraught women online, she learns that losing the one you love, can make you lose your mind and she has to ask herself what’s the craziest thing you’ll do for love?

I enjoyed ‘Never Google Heartbreak’ I would have liked to have said that I loved it but sadly this was not the case. Although the story is quite funny in parts and is definately a unique concept, as Viv sets up a website, helping herself and others deal with heartbreak. I found it hard to warm to her. As a lead, I found Viv quite a hard one, she regularly came across as a weak and self-absorbed person, as she sat in waiting for her ex-fiancé to return to her, after calling off their wedding for the third time, and as she waited for his return, she failed to notice those closest around her who needed her the most. And, as for Rob, the ex fiancé, a snob, judgemental and terribly vain, I found him intolerable and I often despaired of Viv’s obsessive love with him. Fortunately there was Viv’s best friend Max, who was a lovely character, an Irish rogue with a heart of gold, who injects humour into the story and did make me smile from time to time and the website featuring tales and tips for getting over heartbreak were also quite witty.

A honest and fresh approach to dealing with heartbreak and lost love, ‘Never Google Heartbreak’ is definately an interesting story.
