The Breakup Lists

**From the bestselling author of Darius the Great is Not Okay comes a sweet queer love story where a high school stage manager (who is a realist not a cynic, thank you) finds love despite everything. “Rivals Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper in its cuteness and appeal.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review “A heartwarming romance where creating authentic connections takes center stage.”—School Library Journal, starred review** 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?
