SThe first novel by screenwriter and director Yulin Kuang, How to end a love affair, is a painful but fiery romance on learning to forgive. Thirteen years after losing her younger sister, Helen Zhang is still trying to overcome her grief. The 30-year-old cynic became a bestselling novelist whose YA book series is being turned into a TV show. She even landed herself a spot in the writer’s room. Sadly, the same goes for Grant Shepard, Helen’s popular former classmate who was involved in the accident that resulted in her sister’s death and who, like her, still bears the scars of that tragedy . As Helen reluctantly gets to know Grant, she discovers that she has more in common with the man she supposedly despises than she would like to admit.
