The Breakup Lists
The Breakup Lists | Adib Khorram
1 post | 1 read
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 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?

My first #LGBTQBookBingo2024 bingo! Also my #TBRTarot read for “book by a male author, and my read for #queerbc

I didn't like this quite as much as Khorram's previous books. The main character, Jackson, can be challenging to like, which is part of the story arc and it does pay off well in the end. But there was a lot of internal lusting, which I personally find boring.

My biggest complaint though, was the ending is too tidy (cont.)

willaful ... and resolves a lot of issue without Jackson having to really do any work to change things. For example, Jackson is deaf and doesn't feel allowed to be an actor, only a stage manager. I would have loved for him to connect with a theater company for the deaf.

On the plus side, very sweet romance, what seems like excellent deaf representation, though not #OwnVoices, and relatable family issues. And lots of fun theater kid geekery. 2w
PuddleJumper Ooo congrats on the bingo! Sounds a bit middling but sometimes YA is like that especially with the easy wrap up. I've only read one of his Darius books so interested to see what his other books are like 2w
willaful @PuddleJumper Kiss & Tell is really good. 2w
