The Summer of Broken Rules: The Tiktok Sensation

Product Information

But when she forms an alliance with a cute groomsman, she's at risk of losing both the game… and her heart.

i won a school wide game of assassin in 10th grade (so im pretty obsessed with it) and i cant remember ever reading about it in a book. it might be seem like a spoiled girl behavior but i can assure you it’s not, she just wants to be seen by her intelligence, interests and thoughts. A year and a half prior to the beginning of the novel, Claire Fox died in a car accident involving a drunk driver. Mentioning a little black dress does not a Taylor Swift novel make 😭 You DARE compare this lukewarm instalove relationship to The Other Side of the Door? To complicate matters further, Ben broke up with Meredith just two weeks before the gathering, doubling her sense of grief and loss.

Filled with heart, it reminded me of some of my favorite summer reads and I know I’ll be recommending this one for a long, long time. Not sure about the title of the book, but the author’s previous novel and the characters are apparently mentioned in little easter eggs in this one.

The setting in this book was described absolutely beautifully and it was one of my favorite things about it.

And to make matters even worse, a fortnight before leaving for the wedding, her boyfriend of the longest time dumps her, thus making her go alone. i also really like how the game is a way for merediths family to reconnect, mourn over a loss, welcome new members, and learn how to live again. It’s not bad to have sex (the very vague kind) in YA because when I was a young adult reading YA, there were like zero examples in books and I was curious.
