Love is more complicated boy meets boy in bestselling author Adib Khorram s sharply funny new romantic comedy, set in the sordid world of high school theater

As a techie--a stage manager, a lighting guy, a jack-of-all-theatrical-trades-- Jackson Ghasnavi is not a fan of the spotlight. And he isn t too fond of romance, either, ever since his actor ex-boyfriend decided he was too cool to date a techie freshman year.

Jackson s sister Jasmine, on the other hand, loves love. It just doesn t love her back. But luckily for her, Jackson is always waiting in wings when she gets her heart broken, ready to cheer her up with a breakup list cataloging of all her ex s faults.

Enter Liam Coquyt: senior, swim captain, hot white boy and the surprise lead in the fall musical. Even more surprising than how incredible Liam is on the stage is how much Jackson likes spending time with him off it.(Not that Jackson is falling for him. Liam is probably --no, definitely--straight.) So why is Jackson crushed when Jasmine sets her sights on him? And why does the idea of eventually drafting breakup list for Liam feel impossible?

Rezensionen
"Khorram nails it once again with this page-turning romance about giving oneself a chance to celebrate one s true identity. In a nod to the theatre kids, especially the techies, this story comes to life...Jackson realistically models a person who s part of the Deaf and hard of hearing community...Liam s taking on the learning of ASL will melt hearts, as well as show what true intention looks like in building connections...A heartwarming romance where creating authentic connections takes center stage." School Library Journal, starred review

An irresistibly readable novel that builds on the tropes of a traditional rom-com. It has a carefully constructed empathetic and fully realized characters and sensitive treatment of Jackson s disability. We're already putting this on the list of the year s finer novels. Booklist, starred review

This sweet, slow-burn sibling love triangle with an added sprinkling of family drama rivals Alice Oseman s Heartstopper in its cuteness and appeal Love 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 Jackson s struggle finding himself amid the chaos of high school theater. Jackson s 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
