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?

A super-fun, paperback-original series that captures the unforgettable adventures of summer camp, complete
with crushes, pranks, and s'mores-launching with two books!
A hilarious and heartfelt series about the particular magic of summer camp—a place where reinvention is
possible and friends are like family—from a sparkling debut talent.
There's only one thing Melman loves more than soccer: her summers at Camp Rolling Hills. So she's pumped to
be back—until she realizes her bunkmates have gone totally boy-crazy over the school year and plastered their
cabin in pink. Pink posters, pink t-shirts...it seems that the only not-pink thing in the cabin is Melman herself.
That is, until she's given a dare in front of the entire camp: wear a pink princess dress. For Three. Whole. Days.
Steinberg's summer gets off to a rough start, too, when his robot (usually his area of expertise) blows up during
a camp-wide robotics contest. Steinberg might feel like a loser at home, but camp's supposed to be his place
to shine.
Steinberg without robots? Melman in pink? This whole summer feels turned upside down! To set things right,
Steinberg and Melman team up and hatch a fail-proof plan. The plan's secret ingredient? Hamburgers.

Playing games can have deadly consequences.
After exposing a secret lab and illegal experiments, I assumed the culprits would be held accountable. Unfortunately, I underestimated how deep the corruption within OSA runs. Instead of punishing the actual criminals, OSA expels me.
But that doesn't mean I'm giving up.
As I dig deeper into the Dumont family's past, I find a surprising connection to the present. The fae have been manipulating events far longer than anyone suspects, and the Wild Hunt is closing in on any witch who dares to use fae magic-including me.
Dragged into the fae realm, I'm forced to compete in their games where every choice could mean my death. Worse, the fae hold no love for witches, not even those with royal blood. They would rather watch us all die than see one of us emerge victorious.
With the odds stacked against me, there's only one way to save the boy whose fate is entwined with mine and the other witches brought here against their will.
I have to win.
