<b>From the bestselling author of <i>Darius the Great is Not Okay</i> comes a sweet queer love story where a high school stage manager (who is a realist <i>not</i> a cynic, thank you) finds love despite everything.<br><br>“Rivals Alice Oseman’s <i>Heartstopper</i> in its cuteness and appeal.”—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, starred review<br><br>“A heartwarming romance where creating authentic connections takes center stage.”—<i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review<br></b><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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 he’s probably—no, definitely—straight anyway.<br><br>So why does the idea of eventually writing a breakup list for him feel so impossible?
