Heartbreak Boys
An Indie Next List Pick
Featured in iPaper’s ‘Essential Summer Reads’
“Green’s books are like the best friend you wished you had as a shy, gay teen. Fantastic. ”
A road trip rom-com about heartbreak, social media hijinks, and learning to be happy with who you are.
When their ex-boyfriends get together and start Instagramming a disgustingly perfect summer of love, Jack and Nate decide to concoct a mutual Insta-worthy summer adventure of their own to prove they’re just fine and everything’s great.
Of course, it’s hard to have an epic summer road trip when they’re stuck in a van with Nate's mid-life crisis-bound parents and his annoying younger sister. And it’s been years since Jack and Nate have said more than a few sentences to each other. But their followers don’t have to know any of that.
How hard could faking the high life be? Posting as @TheHeartBreakBoys, the duo stumbles into one hilarious situation after another—and each discover that maybe the cure for heartbreak has been the boy riding next to him all along.
