Azlfa Fatima is a hopeless romantic who finds love in books, coffee, pastries, and late-night thoughts. She’s a brilliant student, a proud Islamabad girl who absolutely loves her city, and someone who can spend hours talking about books, movies, and fictional couples with her little friend group. They’re the people she goes to for endless gossip about the latest book they’ve read, the movie they just watched, or the fictional character they’re currently obsessed with. She gets a little too emotional over fictional couples and is completely allergic to spice, both in food and in books.

Books have always felt like home to her. When she isn’t studying or reading, she’s writing the kinds of stories she would love to find on a bookshelf someday. She loves writing YA contemporary stories filled with romance, banter, friendship, coming-of-age moments, and lots of comedy, especially the kind that makes you laugh one minute, ache the next, and fall completely in love with the characters. Her favorite stories are the ones that feel a little like real life, with messy friendships, unforgettable summers, ridiculous situations, big feelings, and romances worth rooting for.

When she isn’t writing, you can find her drinking coffee, baking, watching movies, or hiking the hills.
