Who Wrote After 52 Broken Promises, I Finally Let Go?

That title hooked me right away — 'After 52 Broken Promises, I Finally Let Go' sounds exactly like the kind of raw, emotional memoir/romance that often shows up on indie platforms. I wasn't able to point to a big-name author tied to that exact phrasing in major catalogs, which usually means one of two things: either it's a self-published title (Kindle Direct Publishing, Smashwords, etc.) or it’s a story from a serialized site like Wattpad, Radish, or Webnovel published under a pen name. Those releases sometimes don’t show up in traditional bibliographic databases, so the author credit isn’t as visible unless you look at the retail or hosting page directly.

If you want to track down the credited author yourself, here’s the pragmatic route I’d take — it’s what I use when I stumble on a title with scarce metadata. Search the exact title in quotes on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Google Books first; Amazon product pages will usually list the author name and publisher (or indicate Kindle Direct Publishing). Check Goodreads for reader listings and reviews — readers often tag the author or link to their profile. If nothing obvious appears there, search for the title on Wattpad, Radish, and other serialization platforms where authors often post first; those sites display the username or pen name prominently. Another useful trick is to search the exact title plus the words "author," "published by," or "ISBN" — if it has an ISBN it should turn up in WorldCat or LibraryThing and that will give you a formal author record.

If it’s a digital-only indie release you might also find the author name in the gutter/copyright page of the ebook itself, or on the product’s description page where the publisher imprint or author bio is listed. For older or removed listings, the Wayback Machine can sometimes recover an earlier product page that named the author. Social media and author platforms help too: searching the title on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook sometimes leads to the author’s promo posts or a link to their author page.

Personally, discovering small-press or self-pub gems like 'After 52 Broken Promises, I Finally Let Go' is part of the fun — it feels like a little scavenger hunt. Even if the author is using a pen name or the book’s metadata is thin, the trail usually leads to an author profile, a publication page, or a serialized post that reveals who wrote it. I get a kick out of collecting these sad-but-satisfying finds, and if you poke around the ebook platforms and reader communities you’ll likely uncover the byline pretty quickly. Happy sleuthing — I love when a mystery title turns out to be a brilliant hidden read.
