A CROWDFUNDING SUCCESS: This was one of only two books to run a successful pre-order campaign (750 pre-orders) on Inkshares in 2023. DEBUT OUTING BRINGS NEW PERSPECTIVE TO A TOP-SELLING GENRE: House of the Broken Promise pairs Colleen Hoover with Laura Dave, balancing romance and thrills between its two timelines, while bringing a new perspective to the genre through the eyes of its heroine, an adulterous literature professor who has a quote from Madam Bovary or Anna Karenina no matter the situation. PERFECT NEW ENGLAND BEACH READ: Sonja is a lifelong New Englander and spent her college years in the heart of the Finger Lakes. House of the Broken Promise began after the birth of her first child and is both an ode to a time and place and to the resilience of mothers.
