Heartbreak

"""In Heartbreak [Williams] reprises [the] determined, deep-dive reporting [of The Nature Fix], this time seeking the same healing for her shattered self... This is one of the joys of reading a gifted science journalist: You learn so much stuff without having to study it yourself... [A] wise and brave book."" -- Marianne Szegedy-Maszak - The Washington Post ""[Readers] will learn as much from Williams’s intellectual rigor as from her fearlessness in surviving a broken heart."" -- Sebastian Modak - The New York Times Book Review ""What a powerful book. Williams captures the heartache of divorce and the crooked road back to living. Colorful, imaginative and poignant—Heartbreak tells a gripping story of courage, sex, and adventure packed with all the newest hard science on romance and attachment. I’ve studied love for over 40 years and I was taking notes. It’s a magnificent, wise, and remarkable read!"" -- Helen Fisher, author of The Anatomy of Love ""A masterful blend of investigative reporting and personal narrative, chock-full of fascinating insights, gorgeous nature writing and an ample helping of compassion (some of which Williams deservedly reserves for herself)."" -- Alexis Burling - The San Francisco Chronicle ""Williams, by investigating the science behind a broken heart, turns her personal experiences into something universal and, in the end, useful."" -- Prospect"
