The Breakup Lists Summary

The Breakup Lists by Adib Khorram

Jackson Ghasnavi is a lot of things - a techie, a smoothie afficionado, a totally not obsessive list-maker - but one thing hes not is a romantic. And why would he be? Hes already had a front row seat to his parents divorce and picked up the pieces of his sister Jasmines 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 hes probably - no, definitely - straight anyway. So why does the idea of eventually writing a breakup list for him feel so impossible?

The Breakup Lists Reviews

An irresistibly readable novel that builds on the tropes of a traditional rom-com. It has a carefully constructedempathetic and fully realized charactersand sensitive treatment of Jacksons disability. We're already putting this on the list of the years finer novels. Booklist, starred review

This sweet, slow-burn sibling love triangle with an added sprinkling of family drama rivals Alice Osemans Heartstopper in its cuteness and appealLove deserves a standing ovation in this multilayered exploration of what it truly means to feel seen. Kirkus, starred review

In this emotionally complex rom-com, Khorram (Kiss & Tell) winningly captures Jacksons struggle finding himself amid the chaos of high school theater. Jacksons first-person POV recounting his growing crush and his frustration with those around him is both sharp and sincere, making this a wholesome and hilarious tale. PW
