Heartbreaker by Anika Hussain was such a refreshing and heartfelt read. I instantly connected with the protagonist, who felt so real in the way she navigated love, friendships, and the weight of family expectations. The mix of humor and emotional depth kept me hooked, and I found myself smiling at the sweet moments while also reflecting on the more serious themes of identity and self-discovery. Hussain’s writing made everything feel so vivid, like I was right there experiencing it all. By the end, I felt both uplifted and deeply moved, this is definitely a book that will stay with me for a long time.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bonnie Books UK for providing me an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks Netgalley and the author for the ARC💫😝✨

😱🙊💥Plot:
This is a very fun, witty, and heartwarming with a classic enemies to lovers but with a unique spin💫! Their back and forth banter playful rivalry is really entertaining. There was a Romeo🤴 and Juliet👸 reference (which eerily👻 was in another book I just reviewed and I'm pretty such was also set in Bristol😆).

💞😻🌟Romance:
Fahim is witty and mischievous😝, while Saachi is fiercely🦁 loyal and never backs down from a debate. I can't stop 🛑Imagining the food🥘  from their date in my head.

👤😼🌟Characters:
The twins are like the ultimate wing-women 🍗. They definitely build on the story. Dev is very cheeky 🙊 as expected and funny.

I was particularly excited to read 'Heartbreaker' since I loved Hussain’s other YA novels, 'This is How You Fall in Love' and 'Desi Girl Speaking'. Her ability to balance humour, romance, and heart is something I've come to look forward to!

When I picked up Heartbreaker, I was expecting something with 'John Tucker Must Die' vibes—plenty of shenanigans, drama, and fun. I’m happy to say Hussain delivered on all fronts! This book is an easy, entertaining read with laugh-out-loud moments, swoon-worthy scenes, and just the right amount of heartfelt emotion.

If you’re in the mood for a fun YA romcom, grab a cup of coffee, some chocolate, and a copy of 'Heartbreaker'!
