Welcome
 
    Seven months across Africa with a total stranger. He, an American wildlife photographer. She, a Spanish zoologist. Both write their side of the story. Both agree to never look at what the other has written.Hal and Cristina


Only one person knows the whole story.


You.

 


    
Welcome to The Great Heartbreak Experiment, the first novel of its kind, written in two halves by Cristina Garcia and Hal Brindley.

    What if you could leave it all behind; your home, your job, your ex-boyfriend, and travel to an exotic land with a guy you never met? Would you do it?

    What if she was writing all her most personal thoughts about you in a public journal and all you had to do was open it, but you promised not to. Could you do it?

    What if everybody in the whole world knew what he was really thinking? Except you.

    Will it work? Read and find out...
