THE BREAKUP VACATION

Anna Gracia

The Break-Up Vacation combines a dose of Crazy Rich Asians with a dash of Girls Trip as three college friends go on a one-week vacation in Cancun to help Grace forget all about her ex.
It's the summer after junior year of college, and Grace is looking forward to going to LA with her boyfriend, Josh. When he unexpectedly dumps her, she's left with a hole in her heart and in her summer schedule. Her (very wealthy) best friend, Tiff, along with their new friend, Camille, a French foreign exchange student, come to the rescue and whisk her away to a beach house in Cancun for a week of R&R. Little do Tiff and Camille know, though, that's where Josh is headed, with his maybe-new-girlfriend Caity, Grace's #1 rival in their school's theater program and the daughter of a famed Mexican filmmaker.

Grace feels confident that she can balance having fun with her girlfriends with trying to win Josh back. But then she meets Daniel, who is in Cancun working at his uncle's soccer camp. Daniel turns out to be everything Josh isn't - a good listener, genuinely supportive, patient in the bedroom, and encouraging. Plus, he's also biracial (half Chinese, half Mexican) and understands Grace in a way no boy ever has.

Over the course of a debaucherous week, Grace will discover things - about love, her friendships, and herself - that will put the world into much clearer focus.

Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Christina Lauren, The Break-Up Vacation is a boisterous, feel-good novel about college life, when falling in love was brand new and making friends was all that mattered.

Anna Gracia grew up biracial in the Midwest, spending her formative years repeatedly answering the question, "What are you?" Before finding her way as an author, she was a CPA, a public-school teacher, a tennis coach, and for one glorious summer, a waitress at a pie shop. She now lives in San Francisco, raising three kids and writing stories about girls navigating a world full of double standards.

The Breakup Vacation grabbed me from line one and never let go! With sparkling wit, a dynamite voice, and supremely well-crafted plot and characters, Anna Gracia comes to the page with fireworks booming. Full of true friendship, deep self-discovery, and all the swoons, books like this are why we read romance. Gracia is a star.

A breezy beach read that's a double shot of sarcasm and sensuality, with a chaser full of heart, friendship, and self-realization.

Steamy, witty, and pure summer fun! Gracia's characters have dynamic personalities and hilarious banter in a book with everything from sisterhood and cultural commentary to a dreamy book boyfriend.

Full of debauchery, deep friendships, and infallible young twenties' logic, Gracia's novel made me nostalgic for a time when anything was possible. This adult debut will have you rooting for summer to never end.

A sexy, sun-drenched cocktail of chaotic good fun and heartfelt hilarity. It's like the best summer vacation ever in book form. It's like the best summer vacation ever in book form.
