You only get one soulmate, and I'm not throwing mine away.
Alana and Gray have been the perfect couple ever since they got together before high school - and neither of them thinks that should have to change just because Alana came out as a lesbian.
Sure, things are a little different now: their romantic relationship is over, but their best-friends-since-forever relationship is stronger than ever. And yeah, Alana sees how her other friends now exclude her in tiny, almost unnoticeable ways, but she still has Gray, and that's all that's ever mattered to her. Really, the only difference is that instead of kissing Gray herself, Alana sets him up with other girls to do that.
But when the new girl Tal arrives, she stops both Alana and Gray in their tracks.
Suddenly, Gray's all-in on his plan to get Tal to fall in love with him, and, for the first time, Alana's reluctant to help. As Alana and Tal grow closer, and Alana begins to think Tal might share her feelings, she has to decide whether to embrace her queerness and risk losing the life she thought she was building, or continue hiding parts of herself and maintain the status quo.
Don't Let it Break Your Heart is a tender and romantic exploration of identity, love, and friendship that turns the friends to lovers romance trope on its head.

Ein wirklich gutes Buch, das eigentlich mehr Sterne verdient hätte, aber leider haben mich ein paar Kleinigkeiten gestört. Erstmal zu den positiven Sachen: Ich fand, dass es eine wunderschöne und echt gute Darstellung einer Teenagerin war, die gerade herausgefunden hat, dass sie lesbisch ist, und in der realen Welt klarkommen muss – mit Freunden, die vielleicht doch nicht ihre Freunde sind, und Gefühlen, die für sie ganz plötzlich und neu sind. Leider war mir die Geschichte am Ende ein bisschen zu schnell erzählt. Zu viel wurde übersprungen und nicht weiter erklärt, was am Ende dazu führte, dass meiner Meinung nach zu wenig von der eigentlichen Lovestory im Buch zu sehen war.
