Once Upon a Broken Heart (Once Upon a Broken Heart, #1)

by Stephanie Garber

How far would you go for happily ever after?

For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings... until she learns that the love of her life will marry another.

Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic but wicked Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing.

But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game—and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after or the most exquisite tragedy...

The storytelling. The characters. The world building.
I loved everything about this book!

Even though Jacks is unbearably arrogant he is that morally grey "villain" that you can't help but love.

Evangeline is sweet and curious and naive and I was frustrated by the naivety while also rooting for her.

Could not stand Marisol and was highly suspicious of her throughout the entire book. The question of whether she was good or evil kept me wondering throughout the whole book.

I finished this earlier today and I keep thinking about the story. I NEED more. I feel like I'm still totally swept up in the world and the story that I have to keep reminding myself that I finished the book and there is no more to read until September!

I immediately ran to Netgalley and requested the ARC but I'm sure it's not an easy one to be approved for. I can always hope though!

Definitely cannot wait for The Ballad of Never After!
