I spoke to Emma Mills about This Adventure Ends, her inspiration for the novel, and the books she loved as a teenager. It's a beautiful tribute to every high schooler who never felt good enough, cool enough, smart enough to belong. Heartbreaker Breaks (A Bittersweet Lottery Love Story) ((Tangled Hearts & Broken Vows: Tales of Infidelity Book 1)). As Sloane bonds with her family, her friends, and a potential love interest, she overcomes her fear of being rejected and allows herself to be seen. Venetia, the most beautiful of the Immortals, with her long flowing golden hair, and supple rounded body with skin so fair, the cupid’s bow of her soft red lips walked along the edge of her pond. The true shining stars of the novel are the characters on the periphery: Vera and Gabe, of course, but also Sloane's father, a bestselling author who attempts to beat his all-consuming writer's block in some unconventional ways. Heartbreaker Breaks is a humorous and suspenseful standalone romance with a bitterly sweet happy ending. Once upon a time on an island very far away, The Immortals lived, cast out from the heavens, their memories of their origins hazy, forgotten. But when she takes a leap of faith and allows herself to be loved and accepted fully by the people around her, amazing things happen. Sloane, much like the main character of Mills' first novel, Devon, is prickly, sarcastic, and unwilling to let people see past her cynical facade. Her journey to reclaim the painting takes her across state lines and forces her to push the boundaries of her comfort zone. When a beloved painting by the twins' dead mother is accidentally sold, Sloane makes it her mission to track it down. But then she meets Vera, a social media superstar with a larger-than-life personality, and her super-serious twin brother, Gabe.
In This Adventure Ends, Sloane moves from New York City to Florida, never expecting to find belonging in her new home. Now she's back with This Adventure Ends, a story about finding the courage to let yourself belong to a community and a place.
In 2015, author Emma Mills delivered one of the most beloved young adult novels of the year, First & Then.
