Breaking Up Point by Brian McNamara


I review a lot of books via Netgalley and one of those was Breaking Up Point by Brian McNamara. However, the blog associated with Netgalley is Shooting Stars Mag so my review is up over there today. I wanted to post about it here though because it's an LGBT New Adult novel that I would recommend.


However, I do want to note that Breaking Up Point is the sequel to Bottled Up Secret. I did not realize this going on, so make sure you read them in order! I didn't have a problem reading Breaking Up Point without knowing the first book, but I do want to go back and read Bottled Up Secret now.

Feel free to share your thoughts about these books in the comments below, but remember, the actual review for Breaking Up Point is over here.

Waiting on Wednesday: Breaking Up Point



Waiting on Wednesday comes from Breaking the Spine

Breaking Up Point by Brian McNamara 

Out: September 15, 2015

Official Summary: Brendan Madden is starting his freshman year of college and, although excited, he is sad to say good-bye to his high school boyfriend, Mark. After a rough transition, Brendan carves out a place for himself at school, where he has new friends and newfound independence. With the added strain of distance, however, he now finds it hard to maintain his relationship with Mark, especially due to the fact that Mark still must hide the relationship from most of his friends. Brendan’s college life allows him to be open and honest about who he is. He debates whether he is willing to compromise this for Mark, especially since staying in the relationship means forgoing the possibility of finding new romance at college. 

My Thoughts:  Not too long to wait for this one! I love the theme of one half of a couple going to college while the other is stuck back in high school. The person in college is experiencing something  very different, and it's bound to be tough to make a relationship work - even if it's not long distance. Added to this whole idea is the fact that Mark seems to be mostly in the closet and that is bound to be tough for Brendan, especially if he's out in college and meeting other people that are too! I'm definitely curious about this one! 

What do you think? What are you waiting on?
