Rules to Break by Susan Hawke

If you go to stay with a stranger, and they put you in a room that locks from the outside, RUN. (But also, needing a key to unlock a door usually means that it locks from the other side, not the side where the key is needed). And then Bryan gets worse, ignoring Preston when he talks about how easily he burns in the sun, and refusing to apologize or take ownership of the fact that Preston got burned. I didn't particularly like Preston, but I *really* didn't like Bryan.
It would be absurd for a beginner's karate class for children to have the set punishment for a bad attitude to be 50 push ups. That is not a reasonable number of push ups for a child to be able to accomplish.
Also, I call bull on Preston having never seen a Keurig in 2019. Sure, he might not have one in his house, but he would have encountered them in hotels or an office or something. If the author had wanted to make Preston sound like a snob in that scene, she should have had him turn up his nose at the idea of tea made in a Keurig instead.
