About the Breaking Point series
Breaking Point continues Jay Crownover's Point-neighborhood New Adult world with a new trilogy following characters connected to the earlier Welcome to the Point series as they confront the fallout of the Point's criminal underworld. Honor (2016) opens the series, followed by Dignity (2017) and Respect (2018), each pushing further into the darker, morally complicated territory the Point setting established.
Where Welcome to the Point introduced the neighborhood and its dangers, Breaking Point digs into the consequences -- loyalty tested past its limit, family ties strained by crime, and romance forged under real threat -- continuing Crownover's push toward grittier New Adult stakes.
Frequently asked questions
How many books are in the Breaking Point series?
Three: Honor (2016), Dignity (2017), and Respect (2018).
Is Breaking Point connected to Welcome to the Point?
Yes -- it's set in the same Point neighborhood and criminal underworld, continuing with recurring characters from that earlier series.
What order should I read Breaking Point in?
Publication order: Honor, Dignity, then Respect.
Is Downfall part of Breaking Point?
Sources disagree -- some list Downfall (2019) as connected to the Point's criminal-underworld books, but it could not be confirmed as an official numbered Breaking Point entry via independent sourcing, so it's tracked as a standalone in this site's Jay Crownover author file instead.
Is a fourth Breaking Point book planned?
None has been confirmed as of August 2026.
