Synopsis

It’s the summer before senior year of college, and Grace is about to make the worst decision of her life in this “sexy, sun-drenched cocktail of chaotic good fun and heartfelt hilarity” (Sarah Kuhn, author of the Heroine Complex series) that captures the messiness of your early twenties, while highlighting the necessity of girlfriends at any—and every—age.

How far would you go to win back an ex?

If Grace is being honest, she knows her choices skate past questionable and probably into destructive. But her heart is broken and the guy who broke it—her ex Josh—keeps hinting at a reunion. So when her best friends, Tiff and Camille, suggest they take a girls trip to help her get over her heartache, Grace doesn’t hesitate to recommend Cancún. She just doesn’t mention that Josh also happens to be there.

But juggling her friends, Josh, and the increasing number of lies she’s telling is a lot harder than she expected. And things only get more complicated when she clicks with a hot local guy, Daniel, who turns out to be half Taiwanese too. As the days unfold, Grace starts to think maybe she’ll get away with it. But will her past decisions and her need for closure come back to ruin the relationships that matter most to her?

“Full of true friendship, deep self-discovery, and all the swoons,” (Courtney Kae, author of In the Event of Love), The Breakup Vacation captures the hilarious chaos of being twenty-one, when love is still new, when adulthood feels so close and yet so far away, and when friends are everything.

Goodreads review by Nilufer

Well, well, well! After being lured in by the colorful cover and the promising plotline that offered a gender-reversed "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" in a YA retelling set during a Cancun trip, I was excited and ready to dive in. Who could resist the charming premise of an entertaining romcom with hint......more

Goodreads review by Amy

This was a huge letdown for me across the board. I expected a fun spring break romance that would get me excited for a new season and it ended up being a total flop for me. From the start I didn’t connect with Grace, she was annoying in her obsessiveness with her ex to the point she just looked path......more

Goodreads review by Christa

Lord help me. Between the space buns and the bunny dress with garters, I cant get over how cringey this girl is. The way the friends are written is like someone who has never been friends with a girl and has only seen it in movies wrote them. I was entertained but its not my favorite book ever. It h......more

No thank you! Not a lot to love in this one. The characters are surface level and annoying as hell. The plot is surface level and annoying as hell. It felt a little bit like it was written by a horny 19-year-old.......more
