Vogue dating columnist Annie Lord's debut, Notes on Heartbreak, is a visceral yet funny recollection of the breakdown of her five-year-relationship, told in her distinctive, lyrical style . I suppose I’m anxious, but it feels more like excitement, anticipation, as though I’m off to a house party later or going on holiday in the morning.Then when I got into journalism I was told not to use ‘I’ and go out and talk to people and find interesting angles so it’s funny it’s gone back to writing about myself.

Like most people I tend to shy away from the ugly parts of myself, denying their existence from myself and others. Annie Lord: It’s really weird because when I was at uni, I had a column in the uni paper about sex and relationships, which I haven’t re-read because I think they’d be mortifying to read now.

Thank you for sharing your story so bravely and honestly, and I wish you much happiness as you keep moving on.

Dark, fierce and raw, Notes on Heartbreak is a love story told in reverse, starting with a devastating break-up.
