At the start of summer, Jack and Nate find themselves dumped as their respective exes, Dylan and Tariq, start up a new relationship together. Not only that, their exes start posting pics on social media, showing the whole world how fabulous their new life together is!
Jack and Nate are reeling. Not to be outdone, they decide to create their own 'highlights reel' and show their exes that they're having an even better time.
But between the depressing motorway service station motels, damp campsites, and an ultimate showdown with the exes, something epic really is happening: Jack and Nate are learning to get over their heartache and open themselves up to new possibilities for love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two British 16-year-old boys' plan to incite jealousy in their exes goes awry in this hilarious rom-com from Green (Gay Club!). Drama king Jack and shy Nate had a falling-out in primary school. But after they learn that their ex-boyfriends Dylan and Tariq were cheating on them with each other, the two reconnect. When the duo see Instagram posts of their exes having what looks like a perfect summer romance, Jack, seeking vengeance, persuades Nate into a hair-brained scheme to make Dylan and Tariq jealous by embarking on their own Instagrammable summer vacation. While tagging along on a road trip across Britain with Nate's parents and younger sister, the boys endure suspect campgrounds and get lost hiking. As their vacation progresses, Jack's effervescent personality coaxes Nate out of his shell, and the teens slowly confront long-buried feelings regarding their past friendship. Green portrays the boys' emotional turmoil surrounding their mutual heartbreak and individual insecurities with believable tenderness, making for a by turns raucous and earnest tale. Most characters read as white. Ages 13–up.
