In the magical sequel to The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers by Lynn Weingarten, Lucy must break the sisterhood's curse before she loses her chance at true love.
Since she joined the Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers, Lucy's life has been perfect. Girls want to be her. Boys want to date her. She has access to magic. And her broken heart has completely healed. Her only regret is that her best friend, Tristan, is still hurting from her rejection.
As she searches for a way to heal Tristan's heart, she discovers the truth behind her initiation into the sisterhood—and that her sisters have unimaginable secrets they've been keeping from her. Trapped in a group she no longer trusts, Lucy realizes it just might be better to risk a broken heart than to never fall in love again.

And Lucy felt an odd surge of jealousy toward this girl, toward all of them. “Your tattoo,” Lucy said. “How . . .” She wanted to ask this girl how she was a Heartbreaker

They followed Olivia into the kitchen and sat at the thick wooden farm table while Olivia got glass bottles of milk and cream from the huge brushed-steel fridge. She heated the milk and cream together, then melted in two bars of dark chocolate, the warm sweet scent filling the air. They were all silent as Olivia whisked the mixture until it was frothy and then poured it into
magic in the world, not the spells and potions kind, but the kind that made it such that she’d ever existed at all, that she’d been able to be here and experience this and feel things, even if all too briefly. She looked out across the field for maybe the very last time, and then she closed her eyes and concentrated on all the things and people she’d ever loved. She pulled her love for them into the center of her chest; she concentrated on filling her heart up with it. One by one, she pictured
confirmed it. From the center of Jessica’s light green T-shirt shone a line of light—delicate, petal pink, so faint Lucy had to squint to see it. Lucy followed the line straight to the center of the chest of the guy in front of her, Jason Walser. Jason with his hair hanging in his face, playing imaginary bass guitar in his lap, occasionally taking bites of his peanut butter sandwich, was completely unaware of anyone around him, but there was a line coming out of Jason’s chest too, a faint
