Book Description
The Heart You Give is a literary romance about love in its most dangerous form?the kind that gives everything and survives with fragments.
Set across the fragile years of youth and early adulthood, the novel follows a young man whose heart is shaped, tested, and broken by a succession of profound loves. From the charged intensity of high school desire to the quiet weight of loyalty, from forbidden intimacy to loss written in blood, each relationship leaves a mark that cannot be erased.
There is Mirella?measured, strategic, seductive, whose love grows from stolen kisses into something deeper, heavier, and harder to escape.
There is Kiarah?wild, intoxicating, emotionally volatile?whose passion blurs into obsession, jealousy, and irreversible consequence.
There is Serena?the love that felt like home?formed in secrecy, endurance, and shared danger, a bond so deep it survives even exile.
And there are others?brief, intense, tragic?each carrying a piece of the narrator's heart away.
As desire collides with duty, jealousy with loyalty, and love with violence, the narrator is forced to confront a painful truth: love does not always save?it often scars. Yet even in heartbreak, it teaches. Even in loss, it shapes identity.
Written with emotional intensity, philosophical reflection, and raw honesty, The Heart You Give explores the psychology of love?how it forms, how it fails, and how it leaves us changed. It is a story about giving too much, loving without armor, and learning to live with what is returned in pieces.
This is not a story that asks readers to fear love.
It asks them to understand it?and endure its shadows.
