"Leave[s] your heart feeling full and connected."-- Frank Warren, PostSecret In the spirit of Humans of New York and PostSecret, MUSEUM OF BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS is a gorgeous gift book celebrating the objects that outlast love: a poignant, funny, sometimes bizarre and always delightful window into modern love and loss. A postcard from a childhood sweetheart. A wedding dress sealed in a jar. A roll of undeveloped film. An axe used to chop an ex-lover's furniture in a fit of rage. A wind-up toy, a bar of bath soap, a tin of Love Potion with the simple caption "Doesn't work." These objects, and many more, make up the whimsical, imaginative, poignant population of the Museum of Broken Relationships. Started by two former lovers who wanted a way to commemorate their relationship even after it ended, who couldn't bear to simply throw away the objects that had once meant so much, the Museum of Broken Relationships has captured hearts and imaginations around the globe since its founding in 2010. Anonymous submissions have poured in by the thousands: objects with brief, compelling captions confessing to the story behind their meaning. The museum's Croatian exhibit quickly became a main draw for tourists from around the globe, and has garnered enthusiastic, glowing media attention from sources as disparate as the New York Times and the Chinese national news. Now, as the physical museum arrives for a permanent spot in Los Angeles, the authors have collected the best, funniest, most heartwarming and heartrending stories from their huge selection of submissions. Much like the bestselling Postsecret series, this beautiful oversized, four-color book will offer an irresistible glimpse inside other people's secret worlds, creating moments of deep human connection. It is a must read for anyone who has ever loved and lost.

#ShowSomeLove Day 10: I am sure there is #ForbiddenLove somewhere here. Bought this last year during the Big Bad Wolf book fair here in UAE.

A surprising touching book. Each page has a photo and a brief story on what happened to the relationship. One paragraph can break your heart better than a whole novel.

Brrrrrr! It's so cold here! Sipping hazelnut cookie tea out of the big ass mug the Hubs got me, and I'm close to finishing this book!

I haven't been posting much because of all the wonderful gifts I gave received on Christmas, the flu was the least expected. I'm beginning to feel better, so I'm reading this in between episodes of Fuller House, with lots of mugs of cinnamon tea! 🎁📚🤧

This is such an interesting concept for a book! I haven‘t had the chance to look through it thoroughly yet but I look forward to diving in.

When you're at work and your coworker brings you coffee from your favorite shop and you finally picked up that book you were side-eying last weekend, but you'll just have to sip your caffeinated goodness and continue to side-eye the book until you get home because there are books to sell and reports to do! #lovemyjob #indiebookstore @FountainBookstore
