Synopsis

(girl + boy) heartbreak2 + surprises = a rom-com in real lifeWhile tying the bows on her wedding invitations, Kierstens fianc walked in and told her he didnt think he loved her, and maybe never had. Oh, and hed cheated. At a place called The Magic Castle. Because whats hotter than aging celebrities performing magic in a fake castle in the Hollywood Hills? But dont worry, because six months later, while Kiersten was struggling to pay rent, he won $100,000 on a reality show. Yes, you read that right. A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. Why is it that the minute you get your heart broken, whether by a boy or a dream (or if youre Kiersten, every single life plan shes ever made), you look around to see everyone else is doing amazing! Everyones life is perfect! Because everyone else is stupid. Oh, and why are they always telling you everything happens for a reason?! Your family, your friends, that checkout lady eyeing the three pints of non-dairy ice cream youre buying? Leave me alone, Cheryl! But also, dont. Because when youre alone, youre hit with the reality that you cant wake up from this bad dream. Also, why is everybody looking at you like that? Equal parts pity and confusion, like theyve never been rejected before. Why are you the only one heartbroken? The only one struggling? The only one Crushed? But what if thats the stupid part? The lie that you are the only one. In this nostalgic memoir equally cut with anguish and humor, Lyons invites readers along on a lifetime of Crushed moments and the hope of being left in awe of the pivots she never wanted in the first place. And what if realizing you arent alone is the first step to one day knowing youll be in awe too? *** Kiersten Lyons is the voice of a generation.
