Jackson and his sister Jasmine have a tradition of writing “breakup lists” when they break up with someone. Jasmine is the one who has a lot of heartbreak and Jackson hasn’t dated much. Only one of his crushes was actually interested in guys.

Jasmine falls for Jackson’s friend Liam.
Jackson never knew Liam all that well but they’ve been spending a lot more time together since Liam joined the school play. Jackson’s home away from home is the school theatre where he basically does everything except act.

Jackson doesn’t really want Jasmine to date Liam but he can’t stop her.

Soon Jackson begins to realize his own feelings for Liam.
But he’s pretty sure Liam only likes girls and Liam is also dating Jasmine now.

To say there’s roadblocks is to put it mildly.

But this was a very cute, sweet, very fast read and I enjoyed the conclusion.
