Hearts by Anyta Sunday

Though this was extremely short novella we get a whole story and A LOT to think about. I'm still thinking about WHAT exactly the moral of this story is. I think it's mostly about the power of the mind, the power of belief and what it can bring us - good or bad - depends on us. But I guess it's up to you to read and think for yourself what you take out of it.

When Daniel meg the fortune teller 10 years ago, she foretold he would get his heart broken. Now, after Sam has left him - and shattering his heart while doing so - he meets her again. She looks at him with a sad smile and says everyone in this cursed city gets their heart broken. Looking around this is exactly what Daniel sees all around him which is why he tries to make the young couple who just moved next door to leave before the city gets to their happiness as well.



It doesn't take long for Toby and Kyle to start having issues and in the end breaking up. At first Toby is a bit resentful of Daniel who in his own way played the fortune teller and foretold them this heart breaking future, and yet unlike the one Daniel met, he is determined to try and help Toby and that's how they start spending more time together, two friends roaming the city trying to find the manifestation of this damn curse but mostly just dealing with their heart ache. In the end they manage to heal their broken hearts and hope for a loving future together.

GREAT short read. HIGHLY recommended.

I've read this book through the "Briefs collection" Anthology which contains more WONDERFUL short novellas by Anyta. The Amazon link bellow refers to the Anthology. I made a compilation post of all of them together (though since I reviewed each on it's own you can also look them up 👉 right here).
