The Breakup Lists was an adorable novel filled with hope, heartache, growth, and coming into your own. This story hooked me from the first chapter. I was so enthralled in the book I read it in one sitting.
Jackson’s got a lot on his plate, he’s a junior in high school, navigating theater politics, an annoying ex, a heartbroken sister, and parents who love him but don’t really understand him. He’s joined by an amazing best friend Bowie who’s awesome, and ends up in an awkward love triangle with swimmer Liam.
The book navigates how tricky relationships (family, friends, romantic, mentors) can be. It explores communication and humanity in a very sweet way. We get to see Jackson manage so many things and grow.
If you love LQBTQIA+ books with great disability rep I would absolutely recommend picking up this book. You will love it if you liked books like Julian Winters “As You Walk On By” or Becky Albertalli’s “Simon vs. The Homosapien’s Agenda.” Thank you to the publisher for providing an advance copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
