The Break Up Artists

The Break Up Artists

Summary

When it’s your job to break-up bad relationships, there’s only one rule. DON’T fall in love.

Best friends August and Valentine have an unusual summer job. They are hired by parents to break up bad high school relationships.

Valentine (the brains of the operation) believes that they’re making the world a little better, steering relationships off a cliff so the kids can someday find true love.

August doesn’t believe in soul mates. In fact, he thinks the idea of falling head over heels is ridiculous. That is until he meets the one girl who changes everything – Ella.

The only problem is, she’s their new case. So of course, everything he’s told her is a lie…even his name.

Can August and Valentine pull this break up off, without breaking their own hearts?
