Publisher's summary

"Doogie Howser, M.D. meets The Fault in Our Stars in this tender romcom." —Teen Vogue

The youngest doctor in America, an Indian-American teen makes her rounds—and falls head over heels—in Sona Charaipotra's contemporary romantic comedy Symptoms of a Heartbreak.

Sixteen-year-old Saira has always juggled family, friendships, and her Girl Genius celebrity. Now, as the youngest med school graduate ever, she can finally achieve her mission to treat young people dealing with cancer.

But proving herself in life-or-death situations is tough when everyone from her boss to her patients can't see past her age to trust her skills. And working in the same hospital as her mom isn't making things any easier!

Life gets even more complicated when Saira falls for a teenage patient. To improve his chances, she risks her lifelong dream—and it could cost her everything.

In her solo debut, Sona Charaipotra brings us a compelling protagonist who’s not afraid to chase what she wants. Symptoms of a Heartbreak goes from romantic comedy highs to tearjerker lows and is the ultimate cure-all for every listener needing an infusion of something heartfelt.

Critic reviews

"Informative and thought-provoking.... Charaipotra delicately balances the haunting realities of grief and despair with a nuanced lightness and warmth." (Entertainment Weekly)

"Grey’s Anatomy meets When Dimple Met Rishi in this medical romance centered around America’s youngest doctor.... Give to fans of romance and medical dramas such as John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars." (School Library Journal)

"Symptoms of a Heartbreak is the book I always wanted, and desperately needed, when I was growing up. Sona proves that she’s a master storyteller who has gifted readers with unforgettable characters, a page-turning conflict, and a story that will stay in your heart long after it’s over." (Nisha Sharma, author of My So-Called Bollywood Life)
