Heartsick

By Kristina Forest

A sweet and fast-paced contemporary teen romance from USA Today bestselling author Kristina Forest.

High school senior Margot Whitman is an intern at Healing Hearts Inc., the company that created the innovative pill that can erase a person's heartbreak overnight. Every weekend, Margot witnesses patients get cured of their broken hearts. Meanwhile, she's nursing a heartbreak of her own. With college on the horizon and their futures taking them in different directions, she and her ex Isaac recently called it quits. Margot has thought about taking a pill, but erasing her love for Isaac doesn't feel right. However, her heart breaks all over again when Isaac shows up to the Healing Hearts center, presumably seeking a pill to stop loving her.

As soon as Isaac Fisher walked through the Healing Hearts center doors, he knew he'd made a mistake. Even though he's struggling with heartbreak, he realizes that he doesn't want to fall out of love with Margot. He's surprised to see her working at the front desk, and of course she assumes he's there to get over her. It doesn't seem like things can get much worse, but then Margot and Isaac accidentally overhear a terrible and harmful secret about the pill. When they're caught eavesdropping and almost attacked by shady Healing Hearts executives and their guards, they have no choice but to flee. Now they have to work together to reveal the truth about the pill . . . and maybe, just maybe, repair each other's hearts in the process.

Customer Reviews

full of adventure

A pill was just created so you can heal your heartbreak fast. No more tears, no more wasting time, just moving on. Margot works as an intern for the company that created this pill. And though she just recently broke up with her boyfriend Isaac, she never thought of taking that pill. So She was so surprised and sad to find Isaac in their waiting room. The description above is shorter that the real book description. And if you read that, you will literally get what you just read. However, what isn't in the book description are the meat and potatoes of adventure and reconnection. This book delivered more than what was served. I thought it was really fun and it felt I was with them with their journey. It was adorable reminiscing and even experiencing their heartbreak with them. Not only was this a love story, it also has self-discovery. This Is definitely the Margot and Isaac show, the other characters were cool but they literally were just minor characters. It literally focused on the characters and their story. This and the book description telling the whole story, were the things that I didn't like. But other than that, this was a fun book to read. * I received an eARC of this book
