My latest book
Lyrics of my heart book by Maya Mirza, a beautiful story about love, friendship and accepting who you are

Love, secrets and second chances collide in a delightfully British-Pakistani rom-com that's as cosy as a cup of tea and as vibrant as a Bollywood dance floor.  When Leena’s past catches up with her at a wedding, will old secrets stand in the way of her new dreams?

​

Lyrics of my Heart is a charming, '90s-inspired love story with dramatic aunties, a best friend with secrets of her own, and the world's most annoyingly good-looking boy who might actually also be the worst person ever. 

What readers are saying

"Of all the books I’ve read this summer, this is by far the best.
I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t blown up yet. The thing that makes this story stand out from all the rest is the relatability and genuine heartfelt emotion."

"This is soooooooo good!!! I am HOOKED.
I loved the story line, Stephan (swoon) and Dawn are just so classic...Its paced really well, and the romance plot doesn’t take away from the adventure plot."

"An honest look at first love and the feelings that go alongside it.
Maya Mirza perfectly captures the voice of a teenage girl living through the 2000s... A sad,
sweet little story of forbidden love."
