Overview

See why Readers' Favorite says, ""Julee Balko has mastered the ability to grab her readers by the heartstrings. Square Hearts is an emotional Women's Fiction novel about loss, lust, and love."" The heart has many sides. But people have even more. Nicola's husband always said hearts have four sides. But ever since the night her world was shattered when he died in a car accident, Nicola Cooper can't find a side that loves herself, let alone connects with her neurodivergent daughter. Determined to start living again, Nicola finds herself in a number of precarious situations. Her muffin-making neighbor turns out to be more narcissistic than nice. She's getting lessons in lust from her daughter's violin teacher. And every margarita night gets her closer to her late husband's best friend, who is a constant reminder of all that she lost. Nicola's life is definitely changing-which isn't ideal because her daughter Daisy hates change. As secrets surface and hearts collide, Nicola must face an impossible choice-the security of the past or the uncertain promise of a new beginning.

Author Information

Julee Balko is an author who loves writing novels with complicated women characters. Her previous novels addressed grief, secrets, family dysfunction, and the beauty of unlikely friendships between neighbors. Square Hearts is close to her heart because it represents a new kind of women's fiction with romance. The kind where the characters are older. The kind where the woman falls back in love with herself, too. You can find Julee somewhere in the woods of Washington hiking with her husband. Or at home, enjoying her three daughters, rescue hound, and two cats who like to lock her out of the bathroom.
