Books like Make up or Break Up by Kate Welshman


Ally has always let her best friend Cat lead the way. In high school, that dynamic is put to the test when Ally is accepted into an advanced Latin class, a challenge that excites her and introduces James, a smart and attractive new classmate who also catches her eye. As Ally balances coursework with the tougher “older kid” expectations, she wonders whether she can keep up. Meanwhile, Cat is determined that both she and Ally audition for the school musical. Ally, however, is not confident in her singing ability, and the role would mean spending time with Tony, her former crush, whom she still holds grudges against. Facing her fears in both academics and the stage, Ally must decide how far she’s willing to go to prove herself. Through a mix of friendship, rivalry, and personal growth, the story invites readers to choose their own path—deciding whether Ally will make or break the balance between loyalty and ambition.
