Chapter Overview

Description

Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts follows Margo Anderson—a sharp, funny cohost of a wildly popular hookup podcast—and her best friend Jo Hernandez, whose surprise engagement threatens their brand and forces a reckoning. While Jo plans a sponsor-paid destination wedding on Catalina Island, Margo decides to ‘test’ their rules by breaking them on purpose to make new content. Enter Declan Walsh, the best man with a glow‑up and a conscience, who doesn’t do one‑night stands and refuses to be reduced to a story. What starts as Margo’s social-media experiment becomes a messy, tender journey through zipline scares, ocean capsizes, a viral betrayal, and the hardest conversations she’s ever had—about trust, honesty, and what love looks like when you stop performing. This is a beachy, banter-rich rom-com about dropping your defenses, rebuilding your life, and choosing what’s real over what plays well online.

Who Should Listen

  • Listeners who enjoy rom-coms with social-media stakes and heartfelt character growth
  • Fans of enemies-to-lovers banter, destination weddings, and second-chance arcs
  • Anyone navigating online identity, boundaries, and learning to trust again
