The Buenos Aires Broken Hearts Club
Trade Paperback
Cassie Moore, 28, has always played it safe, living life according to a meticulously organized Master Plan. But when she loses her Perfect Job and finds her fiance in bed with his ex on the same day, it's clear that The Plan has failed her. She awakens the next day from a drunken stupor to discover that she's booked herself on a six-month trip to Buenos Aires. She speaks not a word of Spanish, but she's already emailed the news to everyone she knows, so there's no turning back. Once in Buenos Aires, Cassie is reluctantly seduced by this glorious city.
Her exuberant landlady introduces her to the handsome but haughty Mateo, a man Cassie clashes with right from the start. She soon befriends other lovelorn travelers and together, they start a 'Brokenhearts Club' at a local bar, attracting a cast of characters that includes Dan, a sweet handsome man who lives as carefully and predictably as Cassie. Before long, Cassie's making a new plan: 1. Learn Spanish. 2. Stop obsessing about impossible Mateo and fall for perfect-on-paper Dan. But staying on track isn't so simple anymore and Cassie finally realizes that sometimes life - and love - defies her best-laid plans.Buy now!

Like my main character, Cassie, I spent several, shall I say enlightening, months in Buenos Aires. Unlike Cassie, I never had much of a plan before, during or after that time - unless you consider tearing out pages out of a guidebook and shoving them into my jean packets planning. This characteristic lack of foresight might explain why I got married at twenty-two and divorced at twenty-eight (the only true casualty being my parents' hope that I would ever settle down); why I got my Masters in English Lit (anything to prolong entry into the real world); and why I've changed hair colour more often than Sarah Jessica Parker (will switching to Carmel Golden Blond No.63 actually change my life? I think so!). This is Jessica Morrison's first novel.
