The Breakup Artists

Seventeen-year-olds August and Valentine run a business called Summer Love, Inc., where they hire themselves out to unhappy parents looking to end their kids’ bad relationships. They pose under fake identities to break up those couples by any means necessary. For Valentine, it’s a business — helping people find a better path to love. For August, it’s personal — he doesn’t believe in soulmates after losing someone close to him. But when their latest target turns out to be Ella, and August begins to fall for her, everything they’ve believed about love and loyalty gets turned upside down.

“Reading the story through the switching viewpoints of August and Tiny presents all their situations from slightly different priorities which will make this book enjoyable for teen readers seeking a funny yet impactful book.” — School Library Journal
