BROKEN HEART
Here she was again, tears rolling down her cheeks, her eyes red, and puffy, and her voice hoarse from all the crying she had done over the last two nights. This bout of heartbreak was caused by the most recent man who had callously broken her heart. Unfortunately, this was not the first time a man had shattered her spirit and trust. The cycle of meeting a new suitor, falling head over heels in love, and then being crushed when things fell apart had become like a way of life for her - a painful routine she had convinced herself was the universe's way of preparing her for her future husband; that she was learning the nuances of love through hardship. “Am I a magnet for guys with serious issues? I'm like a moth to a flame when it comes to men with problems”, she cried out. As she wiped down her face a photograph she had taken with Brad during their vacation in Phuket caught her eye. She picked it up and at that moment the memories from that day started coming back to her.

Talks About Death. Content Warning.
The subject of death is something we all like to avoid. We don't like talking about it too much, and this often leads to a falsehood that we are somehow immune to it if we avoid the topic. We see death every day, on our many respective screens, and while it is not as often that we see young death, it happens quite a bit as well.

Rachel Reviews: The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop by Lewis Buzbee
I love books in all their forms and this is something that Lewis Buzbee and I have in common. If I had to have a preference, it would be a paperback with thick paper pages and a cover that takes some creasing. But I'm not fussy.
