Based on three true stories, told by people in the throes of heartbreak, Jessie Stephens' debut book is a compelling account of the many lows and the occasional surprising highs of heartbreak.

Yumiko Kadota was every Asian parent's dream: model student, top of her class in medical school and on track to becoming a surgeon.

She regularly put the 'knife before life', was left to carry out complicated procedures on her own, and was called things like 'emotional' and 'too confident' by her male colleagues. 

Emotional Female is her account of what it was like to train in the Australian public hospital system, and what made her walk away.

Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan
