I just got an email announcing that I won a copy of Cures for Heartbreak by Margo Rabb — thanks to a Random House contest!
I loved Margo’s virtual tour — when she visited Fuse #8, Big A, little a, A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy, and others. Her open, touching interviews inspired me to read this tear-jerker of a YA ,and now it’s coming directly to my doorstep.
Here’s what some of the reviewers have to say:
Booklist (Starred Review):
“Rabb leavens impossible heartbreak with surprising humor, delivered with a comedian’s timing and dark absurdity.
School Library Journal (Starred Review):
“Black humor, pitch-perfect detail, and compelling characters make this a terrific read, despite the pain that permeates every superbly written page. As Mia struggles to make sense of her mother’s death and her father’s illness, she also sees humor in everyday situations, and her irreverent commentary brings the story to life.”
The Bulletin (Starred Review):
“This is undeniably a book of anguish, it’s also one of raw strength and casual, clever humor in random and surprising places, making it a compelling as well as tearful read.”
Here’s what I have to say:
I’m feeling lucky. Now please pass the kleenex.
Yay, Liz! It’s a good one, but you will need those kleenex

Liz, I *also* won a copy (who says bloggers can’t also try to win these things?!), and I was already reading a library copy anyway. It’s fabulous. I think you’ll like it. Let me know! I plan to review it when I’m done.
Have fun in San Antonio,
