Sequel to The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers

The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers has given Lucy everything she thought she wanted. Gone is the poor, innocent girl pining away for a guy who didn't deserve her, and in her place is a fierce, fabulous Heartbreaker with glamorous sisters, an unbreakable heart, and access to magic.

The only problem is this: Lucy's floppy-haired, blues-playing best friend, Tristan, is in pain. And she's powerless to help him.

Or is she

It's time for the annual Heartbreaker competitiona chance for Lucy and her sisters to win The Book of Love, an ancient tome containing centuries' worth of Heartbreaker wisdom, and maybe, just maybe, enough magic to fix Tristan's heart for good.

Lucy will do whatever it takes; if it helps to fix her friend, she knows it's worth it. At least she thinks she knows.

As Lucy goes deeper into the world of the sisterhood, she learns that even those closest to her have unimaginable secrets and that when it involves magic, nothing comes without a price. . . .

Reviews

"Romance and magic lovers will be captivated by this book, which has a deceptively lightweight premise but delivers a much deeper message about the power of love." -- School Library Journal

Praise for THE SECRET SISTERHOOD OF HEARTBREAKERS: "A truly original tale with plenty of tantalizing twists and turns to keep you under its spell." -- Kate Brian, author of the New York Times bestselling series PRIVATE.

"In sentient and original metaphors, Weingarten evokes the poignancy of unrequited love...Lucy's journey celebrates the complexities of friendship and family and teaches her to appreciate the ordinary...and Weingarten raises questions teens will enjoy considering. " -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Mixed in with the magical element, there is a lot of quite sound advice about how and why attraction works, making this a useful self-help guide for the flirt-challenged in the woefully unmagical world of teen dating." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Weingarten's (WHEREVER NINA LIES) second novel is tense yet comforting...the author's meditations on love, heartache, choice, and power will hit home with teens." -- Publishers Weekly

"This easy-to-read sequel to The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers (2012) ratchets up both the magical elements and, thankfully, Lucy and brand-new sister Olivia's "buyer's remorse," offering readers fluffy...fun." -- Booklist
