Serena Singh has built a career on helping other people end relationships cleanly, which works well until her own past stops cooperating. The Break-up Expert follows the collapse of that arrangement.
Sonya Singh writes a romantic comedy with a South Asian lead whose questions about family, cultural expectation and professional identity are taken as seriously as the romance itself. The humour comes from character rather than situation, and the book keeps a light touch over material that is not always light.
Quick facts for buyers:
• Contemporary romantic comedy with a South Asian protagonist
• Themes of cultural identity, family and self-definition
• Warm humour paired with genuine emotional stakes
• A standalone novel suited to readers of modern rom-coms
