4 Books to Read After a Breakup
For those who turn to books for answers
If there’s something all humans can agree on is that breakups can be tough, and they can leave us feeling lost, confused, and heartbroken. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to healing after a heartbreak, I like to turn to books for answers. It feels good to see your problem and feelings on paper before you find the comfort they offer along with an insight into the experience of going through a breakup.
I’ve had a couple of heartbreaks in the last couple of years, and reading books on the matter helped me a lot when it came to coping with a breakup.
If you are going through a breakup (I’m assuming it’s a tough one, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this), I can help you find books that target heartbreak and moving on. You will definitely learn something and eventually move on. You will also learn how to deal with difficult emotions
