Publisher's Summary
A delicious, sharp novel about a woman who jets off to France after her perfect marriage collapses, putting the broken pieces of herself back together while rediscovering her own joie de vivre - a lust for life, art, and steamy sex.
“Artful, feminist, and emotionally gripping. The Unbreakables is a remarkable tribute to a woman’s strength in the face of heartbreak and adversity.” (Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient)
The worst birthday ever might just be the gift of a lifetime....
It’s Sophie Bloom’s 42nd birthday, and she’s ready for a night of celebration with Gabe, her devoted longtime husband, and her two besties and their spouses. Dinner is served with a side of delicious gossip, including which North Grove residents were caught with their pants down on Ashley Madison after the secret online dating site for married and committed couples was hacked. Thirty-two million cheaters worldwide have been exposed...including Sophie’s “perfect” husband. To add insult to injury, she learns Gabe is the top cheater in their town.
Humiliated and directionless, Sophie jumps into the unknown and flees to France to meet up with her teenage daughter, who is studying abroad and nursing her own heartbreak. After a brief visit to Paris, Sophie heads out to the artist enclave of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. There, for the first time in a long time, Sophie acknowledges her own desires - not her husband’s, not her daughter’s - and rediscovers her essence with painful honesty and humor, reawakening both her sensuality and ambitions as a sculptor.
As she sheds her past and dodges obstacles traveling off the beaten path, Sophie Bloom is determined to blossom. Allowing her true self to emerge in the postcard beauty of Provence, Sophie must decide what is broken forever...and what it means to be truly unbreakable.

Beautiful— a work of art itself
This was just what I needed. A message to continue my art, even with my slightly lost passion. That now, a time when I am broken, bruised, and dark, is the perfect time to create. It was also a message to rediscover myself. To make my own “unbreakable” list.

Could have been a good story
Could have been a great story but instead was a celebration of unprotected sex, lesbianism and threesomes.

SOPHIE BLOOM IS TRULY UNBREAKABLE!!
I enjoyed this story. Sophie is completely devestated when she discovers her husband's infidelity. She has to figure out how to put her life back together. There are some racy moments in the story, but overall a good story.

What an awesome story. A must read.
I liked the accent that the story was read it. It was easy to follow the changes. The story was predictable and unpredictable making it great. I can’t wait to go to Paris someday. Also so relevant to me for what I’m going through in my own life. A must read.

Ballsy Chick
I purchased this book after reading her other novel "Fugitive Colors". I was so blown away by "Fugitive Colors" that wanted to read this author again. Lisa Barr has an incredible writing style and ability to pull you into the story with amazing characters. Truthfully, I was a bit disappointed with the 'storyline' in this book, but her first novel is a tough act to follow, in my opinion.
Anyone who has been with a 'cheater' in their life, would relate to this book and appreciate the main character's turmoil and how she resolves it all. An incredible transformation. Good one.

Over the top, melodramatic
Maybe I wasn't in the mood for this story, but I thought it was truely awful. The characters were all self absorbed, selfish, and unrealistic. I had zero sympathy for any of them. I have to admit, I couldn't finish it.👎👎👎👎

Hard in the ears
The story was good even though predictable. There are so many French characters in the story, it would have been a better experience had the narrator had a French accent. The accent in the narration was unrecognizable and it ruined the experience.

A Story
Oh. The. Drama. So much drama. But I still enjoyed the escape to the south of France and the becoming of Sophie.
