Two friends who have unhappily found themselves accidentally dating try to drive the other one to call things off in this witty and heartfelt middle school romance.
Childhood friends Eve and Andrew are destined to be together—everyone says so, especially their friends and classmates who are all suddenly crush-obsessed. So when Eve and Andrew’s first eighth grade school dance rolls around and Eve, feeling the pressure, awkwardly asks Andrew to go with her, everyone assumes they are Officially Dating and Practically in Love. Overwhelmed, Eve and Andrew just…go with it.
And it’s weird. Neither of them wants this dating thing to mess up their friendship, and they don’t really see each other that way. But they also don’t want to be the one to call things off, the one to make things super awkward. So they both—separately—pledge to be the worst boyfriend or girlfriend ever, leaving it to the other person to break up with them. It would be genius…if the other person weren’t doing the exact same thing.

What reviewers said
'Perfectly captures the “actual disorder” of being 13."
"Authentically captures the awkwardness and high jinks of middle school... This coming-of-age story will stay with everyone who reads it."
"The thrilling, agonizing muddle between middle school friendship and something "more" plays out in all its messy authenticity in G.F. Miller's appealing, painfully funny second novel... Peer pressure, hormones, mixed feelings, gasp-worthy pranks: Not If You Break Up with Me First has it all."
Not If You Break Up with Me First is classic rom-com gold and I couldn’t put it down. Kind of, maybe, accidentally falling for your best friend in middle school? Count me in! Eve and Andrew had my heart as they fake-dated in the very best-worst way. Put this one on your TBR stat!
