Waiting on Wednesday: Instructions for a Broken Heart by Kim Culbertson





Instructions for a Broken Heart
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A BROKEN HEART
BY KIM CULBERTSON

  • Reading level: Young Adult
  • Paperback: 320 pages
  • Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire (May 1, 2011)
Three days before her drama club’s trip to Italy, Jessa Gardner discovers her boyfriend in the costume barn with another girl. Jessa is left with a care package from her best friend titled “Top Twenty Reasons He’s a Slimy Jerk Bastard,” instructing her to do one un-Jessa-like thing each day of the trip. At turns hilarious and heart- wrenching, Instructions for a Broken Heart paints a magical Italy in which Jessa learns she must figure out life—and romance—for herself.

 
Kim Culbertson has taught high school English, creative writing, and drama for over ten years and sees her writing as an extension of her teaching. She lives in the Northern California foothills with her husband and daughter, where she loves to drink coffee and look at the clouds. Visit kimculbertson.com
