moonlightlin 's review for:

The Rules of Persuasion by Amity Hope
3.0

For me this was a quick distracting read. I really, really loved the writing style it was very addictive? in a way I would say and this is one of the main reasons why I kept reading this book.

I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either, it left me somewhere in-between. There are definitely some parts that could have been improved or written differently, but over all I did enjoy it.

THINGS I LIKED: 

-The writing style
-The cover
-The relationship between Meg and Luke
-The lack of sexualisation? not sure if it is the right word I am looking for, but in other words I appreciated the fact that there was no sexuality in this book it was just pure progressing romance between 2 teenagers that involved more than just thinking about making out ect. Hope this is more clear and makes sense now :)
-Meg's motorcycle
-Meg's complex personality
-Luke's personality
-The short chapters
-The characters development


THINGS I DID NOT LIKE 

-The too fast paced romance thing unfolding between Meg and Luke
-At the beginning the immaturity of Meg and Luke, but that has changed by the end of the book as there were improvements in their characters
-The time lapses it confused me a bit it felt like suddenly losing consciousness and waking up not knowing what is going on and what I have missed out
-I definitely wanted to see more of Jaclyn - Luke's ex she was probably the most interesting character in terms of messed up ones, so I would absolutely have loved to see of her more


Overall I gave it a solid 3 stars, if you are looking for a light contemporary book that is well written and will distract you from your daily tasks I totally recommend you this one and I am sure you would enjoy it!
