Rules We’re Meant to Break is a cute contemporary debut that released last month! I thought this was a pretty fun read, and I loved the focus on family and dogs.

Honest and full of heart, this clever contemporary romance debut deftly combines utterly relatable family drama with all the sweetness and uncertainy that comes with falling in love.
Rule #1: Don’t get attached.
Amber lives by strict rules to survive her mother’s love life: Always keep your eyes on the horizon and never get close to anyone connected to Mom’s boyfriends.
But after they move in with Kevin, the latest of her mom’s “soul mates,” the rules become increasingly difficult to follow. Kevin’s daughter, Cammie, keeps acting like Amber’s friend, even though she’s definitely not. And Jordan—star basketball player, hottest boy in school, and Cammie’s best friend—keeps showing up at the most inconvenient moments.
Amber has reasons for every one of her rules, and following them is the only way to protect her heart when her mom inevitably moves on. But as she spends more time with Kevin, his daughter, and especially Jordan, she starts to wonder if the rules might be worth breaking this time.
Chosen by readers like you for Macmillan’s young adult imprint Swoon Reads, Rules We’re Meant to Break is a charming, heartachingly real story of family and young love by debut author Natalie Williamson.
This sounds so cute and I love your aesthetic for it! I played a lot of sports in high school – volleyball, basketball, and rugby. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I love that you included Buffy. This was a cute book, and , you know, the dog lives. I ran winter/spring track and cross country. No sports ball for this girl.
I’m dying to read this one! And once again, your aesthetic is absolutely adorable!
