Heartbreaker Episode 1: A God Complex Black Comedy Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

3.9 out of 5 stars 38 ratings

Wanna break up? There's an app for that.

Dexter meets Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce in this snarky black comedy that follows Eris as she toys with people's lives.

When 25-year-old Eris gets fired from her minimum-wage job, she stumbles on her friend's startup which outsources bad news to people. But will she manage to keep her friendships intact when she finds out she's very good at delivering breakups, when demand is really picking up, and when the recipients don't take to the news too kindly?

Inspired by the Greek Goddess of discord Eris and by today's app services obsession.

Do you want to meet Eris? Do you want to see the waterworks? Then listen to this black comedy that will make your heart break.

    I got this for free from the Mythographer site. As with all free books, authors appreciate reviews, even if they don't require them. It is a quick read and delightful, the first of a series. It is billed as a Black Comedy and is about a young woman who can't find and keep a job, until she lands one doing breakups for people too (something or other) to break up appropriately. Very much worth reading.

    Being a short episode it is hard to judge the story. I can say at times it seems she is covering up her feelings and laying the facts out. That does not mean she is indifference but can deal in facts.
    This is fun and entertaining to see what mischief is going to happen next.

    Funny in a really twisted way. I couldn't help but laugh at the main character. Told from first-person pov. Definitely dark comedy, but gives an interesting perspective of someone who might not quite connect on the same emotional level as some of us do. Made me think of someone with an Autism Spectrum Disorder or a personality disorder. But still quite hilarious. Can't wait to get to episode 2. Easy, quick read. Really love it!

    Eris gets fired from her job. While looking for a more permanent job, she works as a heartbreaker, a new business start up that breaks up for people so they don't have to do it themselves. Eris has been breaking up for her brother for years so the job is a good job for her. This is a really funny book.

    This book is very, very funny and in a unique way plays out the wonderful philosophy that to grow we have to change. To gain new experiences we have to let go of old ones. Therefore if we lose a job, friend, lover, etc., it opens the door for new experiences. I'm now waiting for the next installment.

    More like chapter 1. This just introduced the characters. Nothing happened. There is no plot yet. Don't get this unless you get the whole story.

    Heartbreaker Episode 1: A God Complex Black Comedy was a great quick read. Eris is 25 years old and gets fired from her job. She stumbles on her friends business that delivers bad news but it can ruin her relationships. I cant wait to read more of this series.
