Love is more complicated than βboy meets boyβ in bestselling author Adib Khorramβs sharply funny new romantic comedy, set in the sordid world of high school theater
Jackson Ghasnavi is a lot of thingsβa techie, a smoothie afficionado, a totally not obsessive list-makerβbut one thing heβs not is a romantic. And why would he be? Heβs already had a front row seat to his parentsβ divorce and picked up the pieces of his sister Jasmineβs broken heart one too many times.
No, Jackson is perfectly happy living life behind the scenesβhe is a stage manager, after allβand 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 heβs probablyβno, definitelyβstraight anyway.
So why does the idea of eventually writing a breakup list for him feel so impossible?
