The Breakup Lists
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
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 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.
So why does the idea of eventually writing a breakup list for him feel so impossible?

January 15, 2024
Half-Iranian and half-white high school junior Jackson Ghasnavi, who is Deaf and queer, prefers life behind the scenes as a theater tech and stage manager. Ever since his actor boyfriend dumped him as a freshman, he’s avoided romance and finds comfort in making lists of faults of people who annoy him, particularly his older sister Jasmine’s myriad ex-boyfriends. When senior swimming star Liam Coquyt, who reads as white, lands the lead role in the fall musical, Jackson finds himself with a front-row seat to Liam and Jasmine’s budding relationship. And while his own developing friendship with Liam prompts Jackson to wonder if romance might be in his future after all, he balks at the idea of betraying Jasmine’s trust, and must decide what he really wants, even if it means claiming the spotlight for once.
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. Ages 14–up. Agent: Molly O’Neill, Root Literary.

- content: Amin El Gamal's winning performance endears Deaf, queer protagonist Jackson Ghasnavi to listeners. Jackson loves being the stage manager for his high school's theater department. When sweet, handsome Liam from the swim team gets the lead role in the musical, he and Jackson grow closer. The only problem? Jackson's older sister, Jasmine, likes Liam, too. Jasmine has had a string of breakups; to help her get over her heartbreaks, Jackson makes "breakup lists," cataloging her exes' faults. In the print book, these lists and even Jackson's inner dialogue are peppered with crossed-out words and phrases. In the audiobook, El Gamal speaks the struck-through words, says "scratch that" in a sheepish tone as Jackson self-edits, then continues. It's a clever and effective adaptation for an audiobook that's full of charm. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
