Book: The Breakup Vacation

Author: Anna Gracia

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster MTV books for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Grace is going into her senior year of college, she had a big LA trip planned with her boyfriend Josh, but he instead dumped her.

Grace’s best friends Camille and Tiff go into full repair mode to get Grace out through her heartbreak by going on a beach vacation to Cancun. Grace was fully prepared to get over Josh during this trip but instead he is there as well with a new girlfriend. Grace now wants to get Josh back somehow but she keeps running into Daniel who seems like a better fit for her.

I had a hard time liking the main character Grace. She seemed very shallow, spoiled, and bratty. When she was in Cancun, the way she was obsessing over getting Josh back was a bit much at times. Grace also had no character growth throughout the story, I kept thinking she would change by the end, but she didn’t.

Overall, I think I was expecting more from this story but it just missed the mark for me.

Final Score 3/5
