The Rules of Persuasion is a young adult contemporary romance from Amity Hope. It follows one of my favorite tropes...the fake relationship trope. But this one starts out with a little blackmail, which is always fun. The Rules of Persuasion was a cute read that I really enjoyed.
Meg and Luke are the main characters of The Rules of Persuasion, and I have to say they were really interesting. Together and separately. First off, let me say that I really loved both of them. I think they are awesome people, but darn it if I didn't not disagree with Meg once or twice. What I did like about the two of them was how strong of personalities they both had. Meg has no problem putting Luke in his place when he tries to steamroll her and get his way. Instead of the bad boy, meg was the bad girl. But it worked out. Meg and Luke balanced each other out. They were each so good for the other one. I also loved that The Rules of Persuasion was told in dual narrative between Luke and Meg. That is by far my favorite narration style for a book like this one.
This might sound weird, but my favorite thing about this story was the little notebook of rules that Meg and Luke would keep. I loved seeing what funny new things they would come up with. It summed up the story perfectly. It was so unexpectedly cute and fun. I really enjoyed it. I have to say it was a little predictable, but as I have explained before that doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I kind of like it. The Rules of Persuasion was a great summer time read for me. I would highly recommend it to fans of contemporary romances who like bets and fake romance story lines. This one was a hit for me.

So much to love in this fake relationship turned true love story.
Five Things I Loved About The Rules of Persuasion:
1. I have read many books where a fauxmance turns into a romance, but I still love it. I really adored seeing Luke and Meg's relationship evolve and change. In an effort to make their relationship look "real", they began spending time together, but eventually, they began seeking solace in each other. It was all sorts of awww-sweet for me.
2. The sibling connections were so lovely. Luke and his older brother, Gabe, had a united front in trying to escape their parents overreaching control, while each thing Meg shared with us about her sister just made my heart explode. I swear, I was moved to tears.
3. There was a lot of great banter between Meg and Luke. It was initially sparring, but grew to be friendly teasing and flirting. I absolutely enjoyed the fun and sassy stuff, but I probably equally adored when they bared their souls to each other.
4. These two really grew to support each other. The more time they spent with each other, the more they shared their personal woes. They were both dealing with a lot of family drama and emotional pain. I was so happy once they had each other to lean on and run to when they need comfort.
5. And the pièce de résistance - the grand gesture! I love when there is that big gesture, that is meant to win the other person over by showing them the depth and breath of your affection. This one was pretty major, and did double duty by tying up some loose ends too.
Forever my favorite grand gesture ❤️
Overall: So much to love in this fake relationship turned true love story.
