The Break Up Artists
by Adriana Mather
Greer Dignan has a unique side hustle: she helps people end their relationships. It is a cynical, business-minded approach to romance that works perfectly until she finds herself entangled in her own messy, fake-dating scheme. The story moves at a breakneck pace, fueled by sharp dialogue and the kind of high-stakes social navigating that makes high school feel like a battlefield. While the premise is built on humor and the absurdity of professional heartbreak, the emotional core is surprisingly tender, focusing on the awkward, messy process of figuring out who you are when you are not playing a role for others. This is a perfect pick for readers who want their romance with a side of sarcasm and enjoy watching a protagonist dismantle their own carefully constructed defenses.
