When best friends Dessy and Veronica arrive in Prague for a prestigious writing workshop, their priorities diverge. Dessy, fragile from a recent breakup, has come to mend her broken heart by honing her craft. Veronica has just dumped her boyfriend and plans to blow off the workshop. She’d rather master a different craft boys.
Veronica gets right to work on her “man-wall” one paper cutout for every hot-dude she meets and embarks on her mission to cover a wall of their dorm by summer’s end. At times, Dessy thinks her friend might be a genius. At others, Veronica seems more like an agent of chaos. As if their love lives weren’t complicated enough, soon a homicidal suitemate is bent on killing Veronica and Dessy, and both girls are hiding secrets that could wreck their friendship.
Well, no one ever said breaking hearts was a simple craft...

From
A Field Guide for Heartbreakers:
Veronica held up a cutout shaped like a paper doll. Sort of.
“This is the paper replica of a hot-dude. We met four hot- dudes last night, so
I’m going to stick them on the wall. By the time I leave Prague, I aim to cover my
entire wall area in hot-dudes.”
“What?” I asked.
Veronica stopped cutting and looked up at me. “Let me start over. I’m constructing
a man-wall out of hot-dudes. I’m making four hot-dudes right now. A
Kite. A Waller. A Frank. And a Roger.”
“Who’s Roger?”
“The hot-dude in the ball cap who pulled super-hot Frank out of the Ficus
tree.”
“I can’t believe you remember all their names.”
“Dessy, it’s hard to conquer a man if you don’t know his name.”
