{Review} You Always Change the Love of Your Life (For Another Love or Another Life) by Amalia Andrade (@AmaliaAndrade_ @PenguinBooks)

​A delightful interactive roadmap for getting over a broken heart, with quirky illustrations, song lyrics that totally get it, recipes for eating your feelings, the unique comfort of making lists, and much more

A broken heart can feel like the end of the world, but bestselling author and illustrator Amalia Andrade knows this simply isn't true. Change is not a defeat or a surrender, but rather a promise. Because if the "love of your life" doesn't work out, there is always a chance for something new--a new love, or a new life.

When Amalia was faced with her own heartbreak, she knew she couldn't let herself get lost in despair. With her sunshiny outlook, electrifying energy, and unique sense of humor, she constructed the ultimate first aid kit: an interactive guide to getting over someone through reflections, recipes, and lots of ingenious ideas for transforming a negative experience into a liberating one.

In these pages, you'll find the secret code for interpreting text-message read receipts, loving odes to Beyoncé, the ideal playlist for crying in the shower, and much, much more. You Always Change the Love of Your Life reveals the secret to mending your heart and maybe even opening it up again: in love and in lovelessness, we are never alone.

​We’ve all been there – bleary-eyed, heartbroken and sure that we will never ever love again.  Amalia Andrade knows exactly what you’re feeling and channeled all of her experience into a book that is meant to not only make you recognize that there is indeed life after heartache, but that there are also a few smiles to be had along the way.

These things take time.

The rain won’t fall forever.

Bad news: everything changes.

Good news: everything changes.

Things could always be worse (unless you’re living an Édith Piaf kind of life, in which case I don’t know what to tell you).

One day you’ll laugh about all of this.

I promise.

You Always Change the Love of Your Life is a chronicle of how one woman found her way out of loss and back to herself. Amalia includes the usual stages of grief but it’s her wise-cracking irony that somehow makes it a surprisingly witty read.
 
So if you take only one thing from reading this, it’s that you should always take the trip, drink the wine and never turn down a chance to fall in love all over again…
