The snark and instant chemistry of Better Than the Movies meets the indulgent summer fun and family hijinks of The Summer of Broken Rules in this compulsively readable rom-com from Alex Light, author of The Upside of Falling.

Jackie Myers is a fraud. Or she might be a genius—the jury’s still out.

The thing is, she secretly runs pleasebreakmyheart, a gone-viral account aimed at breaking hearts and ending relationships…. And she just used it to break up her insufferable eternal nemesis's picture-perfect relationship.

Wilson is the buttoned-up, type A assistant manager of her nightmares—but it turns out he’s also, apparently, a really great boyfriend.

So with her conscience (and paycheck) on the line, Jackie decides there’s only one thing to do: She’s going to help Wilson win his ex-girlfriend back. Which should be easy, considering Jackie hates him…right?

"A compelling look at complicated grief." — Kirkus Reviews "Such a delight! Alex Light's sharp sense of humor shines on every page. But it's the wonderful Rom under the Com that will keep readers rooting for Jackie and Wilson. Simply terrific!"   — Jenn Bennett, author of Alex, Approximately "Set in the endearingly comedic world of Monte’s Magic Castle, It’s Not Me, It’s You thoughtfully captures how it feels to be directionless and unsure at the outset of adulthood. Jackie’s voice is funny and engaging, and I loved watching her progress from enemies to allies to much, much more with Wilson. Alex Light has gifted us a sweet coming-of-age romance about one girl’s journey to chart her own course and figure out who she is—and what happens when we stop focusing on everyone else’s stories to start writing our own." — Ellen O'Clover, author of Seven Percent of Ro Devereux "Light has done it again—this is a great YA contemporary romance. The writing is heartbreakingly beautiful. Readers will immediately be drawn into this interestingly painful journey as the characters try to find their way out of the darkness, alone and together." — School Library Journal (starred review) "Witty banter, written by Light (Meet Me in the Middle), endears in this sweet romance with underlying themes of self-discovery and enduring friendship." — Publishers Weekly "Set in the endearingly comedic world of Monte’s Magic Castle, It’s Not Me, It’s You thoughtfully captures how it feels to be directionless and unsure at the outset of adulthood.

Jackie’s unsure adult path is also refreshing, offering to readers that you don’t necessarily need life after high school sorted. A great romance, but an even better family story." — Booklist "A sweet and fun debut that neatly riffs on the unrealistic expectations romance novels can set for real life." — Booklist Praise for Alex Light: “A syrupy ode to what it feels like to slowly fall for someone for the first time.” — Kirkus Reviews "Such a delight!
