The Summer of Broken Rules is a perfect new-adult summer read. The Fox-Dupre family was extremely lovable and the coastal setting really added an idyllic touch to the book. The excitement of Assassin really increased the intrigue. Although it contained one of my least favorite tropes, (I hate when boys get in the way of friendships) it treated the combination of whirlwind romance and grief so beautifully and realistically. Even the epilogue felt genuine, which I rarely feel. The connection between Wit and Meredith was lovely and I loved reading about the two of them and the Fox-Dupre family.

This was a super fun summer read. Definitely made me miss summers when I had very little responsibilities. It also made me wish for my own compound to host friends & family. I definitely loved the giant game of assassin and how nearly everyone got involved. That’s goals.
I wish the characters were aged up just a smidge - like maybe 2 years? I think it would have made more sense.

A good summer read! I liked the big family dynamics and the setting. The romance was cute but a bit rushed, I think.
The amount of Taylor Swift references made me feel like I was reading in a secret language.
