Review
A big-hearted romp of a rom-com with a messy, charming and complex heroine at its center who guides us through a beautiful celebration of culture, family, friendship and love. - Abdi Nazemian, Stonewall and Lambda Award Winning author of LIKE A LOVE STORY and ONLY THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT
Hilarious and heartfelt in equal measure. Anika Hussain is one of my new favourite YA authors. - Sophie Jo, author of RED FLAGS
Funny, fresh and heartwarming, Heartbreaker is everything I love in a romcom - with a complex main character and a swoony love story wrapped up in a delightful revenge plot that takes me back to films like John Tucker Must Die. - Ravena Guron, bestselling author of THIS BOOK KILLS
The cutest YA romcom of 2025. I adored it! Saachi and Fahim were both big, loud and brilliant characters. Saachi was out there creating her own problems like most teenage girls (me - I did this) and it was wonderful to watch her learn and grow and find her way. Perfect for contemporary YA fans of all ages. - Chloe Ford, author of WORK TRIP
A fiery enemies-to-lovers rom-com. - Pen & Inc Magazine
