The Buenos Aires Broken Hearts Club

When a drunken decision takes a newly single, newly unemployed woman thousands of miles from the life she knows, she'll need to figure out what she truly wants for her future—and who she truly loves. 28-year-old Cassie Moore has always played it safe, living life according to a meticulously organized Master Plan. But when she loses her Perfect Job and finds her fiancé in bed with his ex on the same day, it's clear that The Plan has failed her. She awakens the next day from a drunken stupor to discover that she's booked herself on a six-month trip to Buenos Aires. She speaks not a word of Spanish, but she's already emailed the news to everyone she knows, so there's no turning back. Once in Buenos Aires, Cassie is reluctantly seduced by this glorious city. Her exuberant landlady introduces her to the handsome but haughty Mateo, a man Cassie clashes with right from the start. She soon befriends other lovelorn travelers and together, they start a "Brokenhearts Club" at a local bar, attracting a cast of characters that includes Dan, a sweet handsome man who lives as carefully and predictably as Cassie. Before long, Cassie's making a new plan: Learn Spanish. Stop obsessing about impossible Mateo and fall for perfect-on-paper Dan. But staying on track isn't so simple anymore and Cassie finally realizes that sometimes life--and love--defies her best-laid plans.

The Dirty Girls Club meets Under the Tuscan Sun in this engaging debut novel about finding a new life and happiness where you least expect it. Cassie Moore has always played it safe, living life according to an organised Master Plan with no room for spontaneity. But when she loses her 'perfect job' and finds her fiance in bed with his ex on the same day, it's clear that The Plan has failed her. Waking the next day with a hangover she finds she's booked herself a 6-month trip to Buenos Aires and told all her friends - so there's no turning back. On arrival, Cassie is reluctantly seduced by all that this glorious city has to offer. Her landlady is an exuberant hostess who introduces her to the city life and also to handsome Mateo, a man Cassie clashes with right from the start. Cassie falls in with a group of other brokenhearted ex-pats and starts a weekly 'Brokenhearts Club' at a local bar, through which she meets Dan, a seemingly perfect man who lives life as carefully and predictably as Cassie. Or maybe as the old Cassie, because the new one has been having a ball and chronicling her break from reality in a silly blog...that takes on a life of its own. When things ignite with both Dan and Mateo, Cassie realises that sometimes the best lives are those you just can't plan for.
