The Breakup Artists

Best friends August and Valentine run a business called Summer Love, Inc. They help concerned people whose loved ones are in toxic relationships. Unlike her friend August, Valentine believes in true love. Her goal is to pull people out of their misery in hopes they can find someone right for them, but August disagrees. Ever since his sister died, he doesn’t want to fall in love with anyone. Then August meets their newest client, Ella. She’s everything he ever wanted, except she doesn’t even know the real him. What will August do once he finds out he’s falling for her?

This book didn’t really have as much of a plot as I would like, but it had a good summer theme. I really liked the nicknames used for some of the characters, like Tiny for Valentine, and Des for Desiree. August had the most development out of all of the characters, but I felt like the way he and Ella first connected was a little unrealistic. I also definitely would’ve liked seeing some interior illustrations in the book as the book advertised there would be. I highly recommend The Breakup Artists to anyone who’s into contemporary YA romance novels.
