Publisher Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART marks the launch of a new series from Stephanie Garber about love, curses, and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after
For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings . . . until she learns that the love of her life will marry another.
Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing.
But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game — and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after, or the most exquisite tragedy.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
First in a series spun off from her Caraval trilogy, Garber's dreamy fantasy follows 17-year-old Evangeline Fox, whose boyfriend, Luc Navarro, unexpectedly proposes to her stepsister, Marisol Tourmaline. Luc and Marisol are virtual strangers, and Luc won't explain, so Evangeline assumes her stepmother bewitched them both and strikes a deal with a cunning, immortal Fate known as Jacks and the Prince of Hearts, to stop the wedding; in exchange, Evangeline must later kiss three people of his choosing. Jacks halts the ceremony, but after his methods cause misery for everyone involved, Evangeline and Marisol journey from the Meridian Empire to the magical Magnificent North. Hoping for a fresh start, they'll attend festivities designed to find Prince Apollo a bride. Upon arriving, however, Evangeline encounters Jacks and realizes that their trip is somehow part of his plan. Evangeline, Marisol, and Jacks are cued white; several supporting characters have brown or olive skin. Despite some frothy plotting, Garber enchants readers with exquisitely imagined worldbuilding and her trademark heady romance. Evocative if occasionally overwrought prose adds to the tale's dreamlike feel. Ages 13–up.
Customer Reviews
addicting, thrilling, great read
after finishing the caraval trilogy i was so sad but so excited to start this trilogy and it definetly did not disappoint. the storyline is so interesting and amazing and it wasn’t predictable at all, much like caraval. i’m so excited to start the next book but PLEASE READ THIS NOWWW it was so amazing i literally finished it in a matter of 2 days!!!
I hated this book.
I couldn’t be finished with this book soon enough. The writing was very juvenile and the pacing of the book was way too fast at times. Definitely disappointed with the book after seeing so many good reviews.
Best Series
I’ve read so many books, but this series is by far my favorite. I have reread the series 3 times
