Love is a curse.
Dark, nostalgic, funny, and tragic – Heart-Shaped Curse is a supernatural romance for anyone who knows painful your teen years really are. For fans of The Invocations, Adam Silvera and Erik J. Brown

Since 1994, Alyssa has been cursed.

Cursed to feed off the emotional pain of others.
Cursed to be eternally sixteen.
Cursed to be forever alone, with only her worn-out Nirvana cassettes for company

That is, until she meets Polly. Polly isn’t like anyone else. She's smart, funny…and immune to the effects of the Alyssa’s curse. Realising that Polly might be who she needs to cure the curse for good, Alyssa tries desperately to grow close to her. But when their friendship begins to blossom into something more, Alyssa realises that love might not be her antidote. It might just be a different kind of poison.
