The Break-Up Artist

In this episode, we discuss The Break-Up Artist by Erin Clark and Laura Lovely. Narrated by Regan Linton

When life gets her down, Zelda applies her creative writing gifts to the composition of break-up e-mails for others using facts provided to her by the dumper. It's a stress reduction outlet she doesn’t question until one day she realizes that the recipient of one of her creations is someone she knows and likes. 

Newly single Jake recently received a message brutally canceling his previous relationship, a fact that Zelda soon discovers and finds deeply upsetting. Now, Zelda has a front row seat to the devastation she helped cause while falling for the same guy she’d mocked for being a loser. Unfortunately for her, karma wields a jackhammer when it becomes evident that Zelda’s secret identity will be revealed, one way or another. 

As Zelda’s choices come back to haunt her, what will happen to the blooming relationship she’s developing with Jake?
