3,5⭐️
Heartbreak Boys ist eine süße, humorvolle Geschichte bei der man förmlich durch die Seiten fliegt.
Simon James Green bringt den/die Leser*in aber nicht nur zum Lachen, aber auch zum Nachdenken indem er verschiedene Probleme anspricht mit denen queere Teenager*innen zu kämpfen haben.
Ich konnte nur leider die Beziehung zwischen Jake und Nate nicht wirklich nachvollziehen und fand die Szenen mit Nates Familie schöner, als die romantischen. Nate und Jake sind in meinem Alter und teilweise hat sich ihr Verhalten eher wie das von 14 jährigen angefühlt.
Wer aber Lust auf eine leichte, humorvolle Geschichte hat, ist bei diesem Buch genau richtig! Denn die Unterhaltung ist garantiert.
P.s: große große Coverliebe

Jack discovers at prom that his boyfriend Dylan has been cheating on him with Tariq, who is dating his ex=friend, Nate. The ensuing public humiliation for both Jack and Nate doesn't leave them very happy with each other. Instead of allowing Jack to mope around all summer, his parents force him to go on a road trip with Nate. Jack concocts a plan to try to make both Dylan and Tariq jealous through social media, which continually backfires. Despite this, Jack and Nate do manage to have fun and work out their differences. Will they become friends again, and possibly more?

Highly entertaining and hilarious, readers will enjoy the scrapes that Jack and Nate continually find themselves in. A light read that can be finished in one or two sittings.
