“A billionaire who remembers everything… and a woman who can’t remember anything. What could possibly go wrong in this emotionally charged romance with secrets, trauma, and forbidden love?”
Ana Huang’s Twisted Love has been blowing up on BookTok, but is it worth the hype? Or is it just another spicy cliché in a pretty cover? Let’s get into it.
Summary
Twisted Love follows Ava Chen, a sweet and slightly naïve photographer with a tragic past, and Alex Volkov, her brother’s cold and calculating best friend. When Ava’s brother goes abroad, Alex steps in as her temporary protector — but he brings emotional baggage, a thirst for revenge, and a broken heart that forgot how to feel… until Ava.
As they get closer, boundaries blur. But Alex’s past, Ava’s trauma, and the secrets between them threaten to ruin everything.
It’s dual POV, slow-burn, and yes — there’s spice. But also… emotional damage.
