As a major swfitie and romance lover, The Summer of Broken Rules was like a DREAM for me. It felt like a part of my brain (the part that can name any Taylor Swift song after listening to five seconds and who's dream vacation is visiting Jane Austen's house) was sucked out and put into words which was a little weird, but mostly awesome.
Right from the get go, we are introduced to a grieving Meredith, who is struggling to live a happy and normal life after the death of her sister. However while visiting her family's costal town, Meredith becomes a part of a highly competitive game of water assassins, which not only pushes her closer to groomsman Wit, but helps her find the path towards living once again.
The bests parts of The Summer of Broken Rules lies in the dialogue. The banter is top tier, and a fan favorite aspect among readers. Through their conversations, it really became evident of Wit and Meredith's connection, and how helpful he is in her path towards healing.
In the end, this novel was fun, and reminded me how much fun reading can be. I would highly, highly recommend The Summer of Broken Rules.
