'Thought-provoking, highly original and beautifully nuanced. Jessie Stephens' journalistic skill shines as she weaves together true stories with a narrative as compelling as any novel.' Jane Harper

'Heartbreak does not seem to be a brand of grief we respect. And so we are left in the middle of the ocean, floating in a dinghy with no anchor, while the world waits for us to be okay again.'

Claire has returned from London to the dust and familiarity of her childhood home, only to realise something is wrong with her partner Maggie.

Patrick is a lonely uni student, until he meets Caitlin - but does she feel as connected as he does?

Ana is happily married with three children. Then, one night, she falls in love with someone else.

Based on three true stories, Heartsick is a compelling narrative nonfiction account of the many lows and occasional surprising highs of heartbreak. Bruising, beautiful, achingly specific but wholeheartedly universal, it reminds us that emotional pain can make us as it breaks us, and that storytelling has the ultimate healing power.

Praise for Heartsick

'A remarkable longform journalism exploration of the human heart and how it breaks. Original, meticulous, marvellous. Stephens has such a handle on heartbreak here that you'd be forgiven for thinking she's had hers broken hundreds of times. But, of course, just once is more than enough for anyone. Dive in, soak up every word, and remember what it felt like to ache with the glorious sick.' Trent Dalton

'Full of empathy and grippingly told, this is a book for anyone who has suffered a broken heart. Jessie Stephens perfectly captures the thrill of love, as well as the agony that sometimes follows. You'll care desperately for all these people, in all their damage and hope.' Richard Glover

'This book is a delight. Stephens has written a compulsive, utterly endearing thing about that most human of struggles: heartache. It is Sally Rooney's Normal People meets Louis Theroux. What Heartsick does for us all, because its core is universal, is reveal the true nature of love in astonishing detail. The precision will grip you. Stephens shows us, too, that we are not alone. And that is a gift.' Rick Morton

'Unflinching, perceptive and inquisitive - all the things Jessie Stephens does best - Heartsick is a window into another person's soul, with permission to read the inside of their heart. In its pages, Heartsick delivers what every broken-hearted person needs, the ability to see themselves in others who have walked this path before them. With this book, Jessie Stephens has just established herself as a major player in the Australian literary scene. A stunning debut.' Sally Hepworth

'Heartsick is heartbreak close up - a magnifying glass that shows us the beating muscle of heartache. It reminded me that the closer a writer gets, the more universal the story becomes. I just loved this book. I hope you will too.' Sophie Hardcastle

Fantastic read!

Fabulous! Couldn’t put it down! I felt like I was in each characters shoes. Amazing writing skills Jessie. Highly recommend

Perfect

Chose to read this after being widowed (because there’s relief in pressing a bruise) and it was one of those perfect books that takes you into other lives without quite leaving your own.

AlexandraLara

Great but not perfect

Great read. A little slow to start, and felt the ending was spoiled by the chapter on the authors experience and I would’ve loved more closure on the other stories - but I suppose the book is about heartbreak not happily ever after.

Excellent book - please write more books!!

This book deals with a subject matter that is so poorly recognised in our culture. It’s an engrossing read - and you need to be “heartbroken” to get something of it. Well done Jessie - my hearbreak many years ago was devastating and completely consumed me for two years. And my friends got sick of my poor mental state - so I had to hide it as you so well demonstrated in this book. Now I’m fine. But it did take a while. Thank you.

Heartsick

What a wonderful way with words Jessie has. She is truly very clever. A little long winded but good nevertheless.

Powerful book

Stabs you in the heart...in a good way

It’s as if Stephens has reached in to your chest, pulled your heart out and wrung it until it’s deepest sorrows and secrets were revealed. It may not be your exact story, but it’s not far from it. It speaks to anyone who has loved and lost, and reflected on what could’ve been.

Absolutely heartbreakingly amazing

Such a beautiful, well written book that touches your heart. I found myself writing quotes down that just fit perfectly.

JosieFielding

Loved it

I was quietly taken aback by how much I liked this book. It had great pace. None of the characters were perfect but all were likeable in some way. I could identify with parts of each character’s storyline and it made me reflect on my own life. I thought Jessie was generous in sharing her own experience.

I am a loyal Outloader and look forward to hearing your opinions and view on the things to matter so very much to us. I am so blown away by your amazing writing! Your gift to take me on a journey into the shoes of these beautiful people, with me having to remind myself that this story is not written from my experience or that of my friends was quite liberating. The feelings of heartbreak will live with me forever and so will this book. Thank you for sharing and making us feel seen x
