The Break-Up Vacation had a promising premise but didn’t quite deliver for me. I most enjoyed it when Grace was with her friends and not when she was with the boys. Grace spends time reflecting on her experience being mixed and how this impacts the way she moves through the world. I almost wish there had been more of a focus on this. There are some hilarious discussions between the friend group and I enjoyed the witty banter between them. Unfortunately, I didn’t really like either of the guys that Grace found herself caught between and Grace makes some cringey choices.

I think if you’re looking for an escape with messy characters who make questionable decisions, this might be the book you’re looking for. I have enjoyed other books from Gracia (Boys I Know) and while this one wasn't my cup of tea, I still look forward to seeing what she writes next.
