The Heartbreak Hotel by Ellen O'Clover

 💖💖💖💖/5

The Heartbreak Hotel by Ellen O'Clover is an enjoyable, sweet, heartfelt, slow-burn romance that becomes something deeper, a story full of quiet magic, that is about healing, second chances, and the messy beauty of human connection.

Louisa Walsh is recovering after a bad breakup but she doesn’t want to leave the beautiful house in the Colorado mountains they once shared. She is unable to afford it on her own, and that’s when an idea comes to her; turn the house into a hotel for people going through breakups. First she has to get her grumpy, emotionally closed-off landlord, Henry Rhodes, to agree to this plan. Henry agrees and as they work side by side, navigating each of their losses, their walls start to crumble. With quiet longing, sharp banter, and those small, vulnerable moments that change everything, a relationship starts building between them.

 

The story balanced romance with deeper themes. The chemistry between Louisa and Henry is wonderful, but their story excels when it explores grief, self-doubt, and the way life can surprise you when you least expect it. The guests at the hotel, friends, and a delightfully meddling neighbor, added warmth and humor, making the cozy Colorado mountain setting feel even more alive.
