Tale of Losing and Finding Love

Mending a Broken Heart by Michelle Wilson; 162pp.

There are thousands of romance novels that feature the stories of young lovers and their intense feelings of attachment, and anticipation, even as they navigate the world from adolescence into adulthood. The challenges they face as they vigorously attempt to balance blooming careers, intensifying love, while fighting distractions of the world. Mending a Broken Heart by Michelle Wilson is one such story featuring the main characters, Isabelle and James, college students of medicine and literature respectively.

The book starts off with a passionate interlude between the two at a bar where each is celebrating the culmination of college assignments. Their connection is instantaneous and chemistry passionate leading to Isabelle dreaming about a long loving future with James. Unfortunately, James suddenly decides to drop out of university and go home with no explanation, leaving Isabelle heartbroken and shocked.

Devastated Isabelle recedes into studies for some time and ventures back into dating on the urging of her best friend Millie, only to encounter disappointment. She then decides to rebuild her life and focuses on her education and builds a strong career as a doctor.

Fate has other plans and Isabelle encounters James once again, as a patient in the hospital. Old feelings resurface and after several deep conversations, and months of slow traditional dates James pops the question.

This book has several loose ends and plot interruptions, and typesetting is amateurish at best. I wish the author paid more attention to closing the loose ends before completing the book and also use a professional company to design and layout the book properly. The book is easy to read and not much substance to worry about missing pages, so totally ok to read over a week.
