Lucy Wrenn hasn't seen her boyfriend Alex all summer, as he's been in Colorado. She's really excited on the first day school, because she will finally get to see him. When she does, he surprises her by breaking up with her. Her heart broken, she isn't sure how she is going to survive first period, let alone the rest of her life.

Itty Bitty Shallow Alert: I totally picked up The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers because I loved the cover (I know, I know... But it's purty). That being said, I didn't have high expectations for The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers. The premise of the book just made it seem very shallow (like the Gossip Girl books) that had the cover not been so mystifying (and sparkly), I would've just kept scrolling down my Amazon Vine Newsletter. But the cover was mystifying and sparkly and therefore, More...

Lucy's life changes dramatically and her character's growth is magnificent throughout the novel. She goes from heartbroken and uncertain of herself in every way to dealing with her problems in a manner that strengthens her emotionally. Lucy did have the help of magic, but there actually isn't much of that at all. The most powerful magic is the one Lucy believes she has inside of her. The message of this book is having confidence and self-esteem and as corny as I make it sound, this book is amazi More...

First Impressions: First, I love the cover art! Second and probably more importantly, I had heard some mixed reviews about this book. Other bloggers I know and have talked to seem to be split 50/50 about their feelings. I was fully expecting it to be a love or hate kind of book. I try not to let other people’s opinions determine how I am going to feel though when I sit down to read a book. I started it with an open mi More...

Wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I'd read a couple of descriptions on book blogs and it sounded like a light fun guilty pleasure sort of read (and hey, there's nothing wrong with that!) I wasn't prepared to love it and actually find parts of it really smart and wise and meaningful in a I-feel-like-I-learned-something-about-life sort of way.

The book starts off on the first day of Lucy's sophomore year. She's standing out front of her school waiting for her boyfriend who's b More...

This one was lukewarm for me. Mainly because I didn’t care much for Lucy. She was the annoying girl who was obsessed with her boyfriend at the start of the story, then she becomes a pliable girl that I can’t really know. Each time I thought she would become a character I could like she quickly fell back into line with the other heartbreakers. I really didn’t have a clear picture of Lucy in my head. One of the other characters described her as blank, saying she could be anyone. I felt much the sa More...

Lucy is completely in love with her boyfriend, Alex---so much so that she's decided that when he gets back from vacation, they're going to have sex for the first time (her first time, period, not just with Alex). And then he breaks up with her. She's devastated, so when three beautiful girls tell her that she doesn't have to be upset anymore, she grabs at the chance. What they're offering, though, is completely unusual. They're part of an exclusive club, the Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreaker More...

My first read of the year and I FLLIPIN' loved it!!!!!! Awesome book!!!! So this book is about this girl who's in love with a guy called Alex...the story starts when Alex dumps our protagonist. She's heartbroken as her world revolved around him. Which is when a couple of girls contact her and ask her to join a secret society called the Secret Sisterhood Of Heart breakers. they ask her to break a guy's heart within seven days of her own heartbreak and bring them his tears. They'll use those tears More...

On the very first day of Lucy's sophomore year, she is broken up with by her [jerk] boyfriend, Alex, with whom she's deeply in love. It's sudden and shocking and Lucy doesn't know how she's going to go on with her life. However, when she's bawling in the girls restroom, a senior named Olivia, brings her a magical orange silk cloth for Lucy to wipe her tears with, and thus, Lucy's journey to become a Heartbreaker begins.

I was really excited for this book for two reasons, one mor More...

My Thoughts: I have a confession to make. . . I judged a book by its cover and I ended up disappointed. I had such crazy high hopes based just off of this cover and boy oh boy was I wrong. First off, what is with the language Lynn? For such a juvenile story this contains some pretty strong verbage which really indicates to me that the author doesn't quite know how to develop characters. If you want your character to appear tough or heartless yada, yada, yada then be creative! SHOW me through th More...

I'm conflicted about this book. I've never read this author before but I will tell you that her writing is GOOD. Her understanding of the art of love, flirting, playing on heartstrings, and the deeper issue of fear is EXCELLENT! Honestly, there were some incredibly good nuggets of wisdom within the pages. The writing style is clear, humor written well, heartbreak and other feelings very well described, and the objectivity in describing matters of the heart is absolutely phen More...

While I liked the idea of this book, there was something about the writing that just left me feeling...disappointed. I'm not sure exactly what it was. Maybe it was that to me the writing seemed kind of juvenile and cheesy. Or that was how Lucy was supposed to come across ( I know she was naive, but this was different) but it just put me off and made me not really care about her or the story.

The characters were only okay for me. As I said above, I honestly didn't care about Luc More...

This book was surprisingly good. I think I was expecting a fluffy read with shallow characters and it actually had some depth to it with a fantastic story line. While it was still an easy and fast read I felt connected to the story and to Lucy through the entire thing.

While Lucy may have been a touch naive I actually really 'got' her. We see in the beginning how her love is bordering on obsession (or maybe crossed over a bit ;) and I actually really got that. I remember when More...

Lucy is so excited to see her boyfriend Alex the first day of sophomore year. She hasn't seen him all summer and she has something very important to tell him. Except he breaks up with her. Heartbroken, she goes to the bathroom where she meets Olivia, who tells her she can help with the heartbreak. After going to a spooky old house later that night, Lucy learns that all she has to do is break a boy's heart in the next six days.

This is an incredibly visual book. I spent most of the time wishing that I wasn't reading it, but watching it on my TV. I can imagine such vivid colors, beautiful clothes, hauntingly creepy scenery. Lush bedrooms- and the mother of all closets. How can I not want to see this book come to life?
I enjoyed this book. It is not a deep book, in any sense. The book was fun, but very superficial. I had a hard time caring about the main character. She is needy and very self-ish, and th More...

I just finished reading The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers and the first thing I did when I finished was to go online and see if there was going to be a sequel. I mean there HAS to be a sequel right? She can’t just leave us hanging like that. Well I was very happy to find out that there will be a sequel (yay!)

I absolutely loved The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers by Lynn Weingarten; I loved everything about it-the mysticism, the unknown, the circle of friends that seem to have everything. It’s fun, light-hearted and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Lucy is 15 and starting sophomore year with a boyfriend, the dreamiest perfect boyfriend ever. He’s been away at camp all summer and sure, he hasn’t really kept in touch much but she’s done more than her share and she real More...

This isn't quite 4 for me, but it's not quite 3 either, so 3.5. This is a fun, light read with a beautiful cover. I was afraid it was going to turn into The Craft (not that there's anything wrong with The Craft, which I quite like), but it was not that dark. I found myself wanted a little more from the novel in the end, but I can't really explain it. Maybe I was just waiting for a twist that didn't come, and maybe I was looking for something a little deeper. While it devotes a lot of the MC' More...

I'm not going to lie, I skimmed the second half of this novel. I wasn't really into it at all at the beginning, and it just seemed really weird to me. Not my kind of book. But I finished it and my initial feelings were kind of right. This wasn't the story I was expecting, but that's okay. I think other people might like this book a lot more than I did.

I was thinking this was more of a "get the guy back" love story. It was more about the secret sisterho More...

I was excited about reading The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers because I wanted to see how the sisterhood helped Lucy get over Alex, the boyfriend who breaks up with her. I wondered how the brokenhearted tear would play a magical part in helping Lucy.

Lucy drove me CRAZY. She was so hung up on Alex. I know Lucy was devastated that Alex broke up with her, but he was such a narcissist and he never seemed all that interested in her. Lucy came off as being an air-head to me and she wa More...

"The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers is an eccentric book that isn't what it seems. Full of magic, betrayal, and heartbreak, this is NOT one to miss!"

The blurb on the back of this book is extremely deceiving. I'm glad i didn't read it before i requested an ARC, because when i had the book in my hands finally, and read the back blurb, i was turned off. "This tale of breakups, friendship, new crushes, and magic..." What do you think of when you read that? When i More...

Fun to read, cute and light with a few deeper parts and some very good and helpful messages. I get why some readers didn't 100% connect with the main character but for me that wasn't a negative at all. And also I kind of think that was sort of the *point*. At the beginning she is the girl you want to shake because she is waaaaay too in love with a guy who doesn't seem to care very much or deserve it at all. But she changes and it is fun to watch her change and by the end she seemed cool and that More...

First Impression:
The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers is not a book that I would normally seek out. Based on the summary alone, the book appears to lean towards the contemporary world. And while there is nothing wrong with a contemporary book, they are not my all time favorites. But with the sparkle of possible paranormal elements, I thought I should give it a try.

While Reading:
The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers does not live up to its summary. In fact, I would almost s More...

I loved the way this story started out. I’m not usually a fan of narrators, but this story handles it very well. I was invested in Lucy’s story from the first paragraph.

The book is kind of like a how-to guide for successful relationships—care enough about yourself to give your partner reason to care about you too, don’t fawn or over-compliment because that gets old after a while, take up your own space (not everyone else’s, just yours) in the relationship, etc. If you don’t respect yo More...

I picked up this book at my local library only because I feel in love with the cover. Now I know sometimes a beautiful cover on a book does not always mean the book will be great and it makes people wonder if they should buy or read a book strictly on what the cover looks like and while I had my doubts going into this book if I would like it or not.

"In the beginning, there was Lucy Wrenn, standing all alone out in front of her school on the first day of sophomore year, with a seductive little message written on her stomach in Sharpie marker."

But it turns out what Lucy saw at the beginning of something much more is actually the end of everything when her boyfriend breaks up with her. Right there. On the first day of school. Even after seeing the message on her stomach.

Lynn Weingarten created a terrific novel about the pain of a broken heart. Our MC Lucy goes through some pretty tough times trying to get over Alex, which brings the Sisterhood of Heartbreakers right to her. We are privileged to her every thought, every tear, every longing. I've watched enough YA who have gone through heartbreak that the nitty gritty details and disappointment and pain seems quite authentic. In the course of the seven days that this novel takes place, it does indeed make sense t More...

I love a good clique. That doesn't sound right, but it's true. I love Heathers, the Craft, and Mean Girls. I love that dynamic of four girls--with the one who is always on the outside just a little bit. It isn't original, but it gets me every time.

The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers fits this bill. It is the story of Lucy, a sweet little girl who has just gotten her heart BROKEN by her boyfriend, Alex. The two have been apart all summer and while Lucy thinks they are going to pic More...
