Margo Rabb's critically acclaimed debut novel Cures for Heartbreak--a somber yet humorous depiction of love, loss, and new beginnings--has been reissued with a stunning new look.

Less than two weeks after fifteen-year-old Mia Pearlman's mother is diagnosed with cancer, she dies, leaving Mia, her older sister, and their father to face this sudden and unfathomable loss. As Mia struggles to navigate her grief, she's also forced to examine the truth about her parents' rocky marriage, her unexpected feelings for a guy with leukemia, and the nagging health phobias that plague her on a daily basis. Ultimately, her journey down this road slowly paves the way for hope amid immeasurable loss.

In this heartfelt novel that Michael Chabon called "sad, funny, smart, and endlessly poignant," Margo Rabb dives deep into the complicated emotions that befall a family after the death of a loved one.
