Description

Love is more complicated than "boy meets boy" in bestselling author Adib Khorram's sharply funny new romantic comedy, set in the sordid world of high school theater

Jackson Ghasnavi is a lot of things--a techie, a smoothie afficionado, a totally not obsessive list-maker--but one thing he's not is a romantic. And why would he be? He's already had a front row seat to his parents' divorce and picked up the pieces of his sister Jasmine's broken heart one too many times.

No, Jackson is perfectly happy living life behind the scenes--he is a stage manager, after all--and keeping his romantic exploits limited to the breakup lists he makes for Jasmine, which chronicle every flaw (real or imagined) of her various and sundry exes.

Enter Liam: the senior swim captain turned leading man that neither of the Ghasnavi siblings stop thinking about. Not that Jackson has a crush, of course. Jasmine is already setting her sights on him and he's probably--no, definitely--straight anyway.

So why does the idea of eventually writing a breakup list for him feel so impossible?

Editorial Reviews

★ "Khorram nails it once again with this page-turning romance about giving oneself a chance to celebrate one's true identity. In a nod to the theatre kids, especially the techies, this story comes to life...Jackson realistically models a person who's part of the Deaf and hard of hearing community...Liam's taking on the learning of ASL will melt hearts, as well as show what true intention looks like in building connections...A heartwarming romance where creating authentic connections takes center stage." -- School Library Journal, starred review

★ "An irresistibly readable novel that builds on the tropes of a traditional rom-com. It has a carefully constructed...empathetic and fully realized characters...and sensitive treatment of Jackson's disability. We're already putting this on the list of the year's finer novels." -- Booklist, starred review

★ "This sweet, slow-burn sibling love triangle with an added sprinkling of family drama rivals Alice Oseman's Heartstopper in its cuteness and appeal...Love deserves a standing ovation in this multilayered exploration of what it truly means to feel seen." -- Kirkus, starred review

"In this emotionally complex rom-com, Khorram (Kiss & Tell) winningly captures Jackson's struggle finding himself amid the chaos of high school theater. Jackson's first-person POV recounting his growing crush and his frustration with those around him is both sharp and sincere, making this a wholesome and hilarious tale." -- PW
