Review: The Summer of Broken Rules

The Summer of Broken Rules by K. L. Walther

Genre: YA

Rating: 4/5 🐐

AHHHH. Okay. This book is SOOO cute. It's a precious little YA novel that just grabs your heart (is there anything better than young love?). With a quick-witted (*wink wink*) cast, there's so much laughter to be had while reading this book. It's cute, it's fun (with the exception of the dead sister, but characters have trauma bond), it's everything.

If you're holding onto summer (why would you?), this book is truly perfect. It is the epitome of a fun summer book. The only downside—timelines, but that is also such a convention of this genre that I shouldn't be shocked.

Read this adorable book and I guarantee (well not guarantee, but like STRONGLY believe) that your day will be better!

Uma Tempestade de Verão- K.L. Walther (+14 anos)

Meredith Fox passou seus verões em Martha’s Vineyard sua vida inteira. Até que perdeu sua irmã em um acidente e acabou se afastando de sua família e seus amigos, usando seu namorado como sua muleta emocional, mas quando ele termina com ela, ela se sente perdida e sozinha.

Mas nesse verão ela vai voltar à rotina para o casamento de sua prima, que conta com toda a sua família. E Mere vê no jogo de Assass1no anual parece a situação perfeita para reatar os laços rompidos, além de honrar o legado de sua irmã, que sempre deu a alma para o jogo.

Mas quando ela acaba conhecendo Wit, um dos padrinhos, e fazendo uma aliança com ele, os planos acabam saindo do controle, já que ela vê nele uma luz que não enxergava há muito tempo, mas acaba focando nos seus sentimentos em relação à ele e esquece das suas outras prioridades.

O livro traz alguns temas bem importantes como família, amizade e luto, mas acaba passando por eles bem superficialmente, focando principalmente no romance que está nascendo. Dito isso, é um romance clichê gostosinho de ler, bem a cara do que hita na rede de vídeos vizinha mesmo. Além de todas as referências à loirinha serem maravilhosas, eu passei metade do livro ouvindo Hey Stephen (vocês vão entender quando lerem).

Pra quem gosta de romancinho água com açúcar, com problemas facilmente resolvidos, sem hots e com personagens relacionáveis, como eu, vai gostar desse com ctz (não amar, mas é um bom livro pra não pensar).

✩💦🔫Review:

“The Summer of Broken Rules” is a sweet escape for closed door romance readers everywhere!

The novel centers around Meredith Fox, who recently lost her big sister. Walther turns feelings of grief into words by capturing Meredith’s pain and how it consumed her, isolated her, and transformed her. Though her grief never fully goes away, it lessens at Martha’s Vineyard, a place very near and dear to her heart. 

Every summer, Meredith makes the trip to Martha’s Vineyard to reunite with her extended family. I appreciate Walther for making the Fox family so diverse. Same-sex parents, remarried couples, and adopted children are all featured, offering great representation. The family only grows when Meredith’s cousin decides to hold her wedding at the vineyard. 

Enter Wit, a member of the wedding party. Still struggling with his parent’s separation and not knowing what direction he is headed in life, Wit is intent on soaking up the last bit of summer. 

As the week progresses, Wit and Meredith grow closer, unable to resist the pull they feel towards each other. I absolutely love how their whirlwind romance is healing for the both of them. They truly bring out the best in each other, no matter the circumstance, allowing for character growth.  

Another aspect of the book that I enjoyed was the formatting. Each section of the book is a day of the week to represent the seven days that Meredith spends in Martha’s Vineyard for the wedding. Additionally, Walther includes text messages and instagram captions, making for a more engaging read.

➤ 4 stars

Chapter 5/8 🏕 Euphoria 🏕 Rating: Explicit

“Please, we aren’t going to be eaten by a bear,” she scoffs. He extends his hand with the joint and nods his head as a silent offer, which she declines with a disgusted look on her face. “C’mon baby, it's the 70's, all the cool kids are doing it,” he teases with a laugh. With a scarlet blush on her cheeks she tells with feigned bite, “One, don’t call me baby and two, that’s peer pressure, I don’t appreciate that.” At her slight frown, he makes an attempt to bring the joint back to his lips but is stopped by her reaching for the joint. “Hand it over.”

The counselors leave Camp Alderwood for a weekend hike allowing Lexi and Fez to explore the simmering tension between them without the overhanging no fraternizing rule.
