Breaking All the Rules
by Amy Andrews
“Breaking All the Rules” is a small town romance novel, chock full of cheesy dialogue and accompanying characters, that will leave you ready to pack your bags for Credence, Colorado.
I just finished listening to this audiobook and the story’s transformation from beginning to end was a success! The first chapter had little dialogue, so the narration felt a bit stilted at times, but once the story picked up, it was well done.
“Breaking All the Rules” follows Beatrice, a 35 year old, trying to decide what to do with her life after quitting her job. Austin finds Beatrice on a particularly interesting day for her, but instead of being taken aback by her unkempt edges, he is drawn to them. Austin is a “perfect” book boyfriend. Though fair warning, if “panties” is an ick word for you, then you may have a hard time with this story. The word comes up so much that I (almost) found it humorous by the end.
Amy Andrew’s writing in the book manages to be comforting, and also surprising. It makes me want to go buy pie, lots of pie, and reflect on the notion that we can’t allow those who have hurt us, to have dominion over our decisions, and our ability to be happy. It’s a great message!
I hope Amy Andrews gets to continue with her cast of characters in Credence, Colorado. I would love to see a story for Arlo and Winona-their chemistry was jumping off the page!
Thank you to RB Media, and NetGalley for an early audiobook review copy of this book!
