How to Get Your Heart Broken
by Rose Fall
Release Date: March 21st 2016
Genre: YA Contemporary
A self-proclaimed cynic, Eli is unsurprised by her boyfriend’s betrayal. Yet, its impact goes beyond what she realizes; a cruel bet, an array of secrets, and a thousand lessons not yet learned teach her how to trust again as an unlikely boy shows her a kind of love she never knew existed.
After Eli finds her boyfriend cheating on her, she seeks an escape. She heads to the beach to spend the summer before college with her two best friends. When Eli is unable to move past the betrayal, the girls devise a distraction; a bet about their handsome neighbor. Yet their thoughtless competition goes too far and their friendships are tested as they began to wonder how much they really know about each other and themselves. In the chaos, they manage to learn the truth about love, self-acceptance, and the journey back from rock bottom.

Do you
remember the first story you ever wrote?
It was fan
fiction. It was about One Tree Hill
which is still one of my favorite shows in the world. I used to write it by
hand and then give it to one of my best friends to publish online, because we
didn’t have internet at home. Medieval times…
Who are your
favorite authors?
KIM HOLDEN!
I’ve never before felt the way I did while reading Bright Side and Gus. It
didn’t feel like reading a book, the devastation was so real. I feel like I
came out of that a different person! I also love John Green, Lauren Oliver,
Rainbow Rowell…
What inspires
you to get out of bed each day?
One of the
mottos I live by is a quote I read once: “Don’t take life too seriously; no one
makes it out alive anyway.” My friends happen to think I have a pretty morbid
sense of humor, but to me this idea is very liberating. It means I’m free to do
whatever the h-e-double hockey sticks I want! None of the mistakes I make are going to bring
about the end of the world, and since I already know how this story ends (with
death) there’s no need to worry about screwing it up…Yes, my friends are right.
When you're
not writing, how do you spend your time?
I certainly have no
shortage of hobbies. There are two categories for me; there are those hobbies I
pick up and put down almost as quickly and then there are those I'm relatively
committed to. In the past the former has included fencing, knitting, yoga,
running, swimming, you can probably see a pattern with sports. Also on this
list is ballroom dancing but that's something I would like to pick back up
because I actually really enjoyed it. The other category includes baking,
songwriting, reading, and travelling.
Quick. Something weird…
I've always
dreamed about having a cooking show and sometimes when I'm cooking alone I talk
to myself and explain all the steps, pretending there's a camera there.
What is your
writing process?
It depends on
the story. I have one short story called "Easy as 1, 2, 3" that came
about in that strange state that's somewhere between dreaming and awake. Once I
woke up all I had to do was write it! A lot of them begin with "What
if..." then I play out a loose sequence in my head and try to decide if
it's interesting enough that I would read it. Sometimes I'll write down a quote
or song lyric I found interesting and months later revisit it to see what comes
to me.
Where can
your readers connect with you?
I have a blog, rosesarecool.wordpress.com for anyone that wants to leave
comments, questions, pictures of their cats…
I also have a twitter (@rosesarecool) though I'd be lying if I said I'm an active twitterer.

A word that you use way
too often?
“Absurd.” Because everything is absurd.
