Bending the Rules by Mariah Dietz

3.0

This book should so easily be a teen romance film on Netflix, like The Kissing Booth. Raegan has a huge crush on her brother’s best friend and football team mate Lincoln.

The will they, won’t they was torture. I wanted to slap Lincoln so hard and tell him to get his head in the game.

Rae wants to save the planet but also wants to kiss Lincoln so hard that she will feel him on her lips for days! If he wasn’t only 21, I might like to kiss him myself.

That said, I think the book was too young for me. The thought of college parties wore me out. I’m over the toga wearing, school uniform wearing, Barbie doll lookalike keggers. There’s a few threads that are left wide open that will need to be pulled together in book two. There was lots of waffle that didn’t really add to the story that put me off and almost had me giving up but I stuck to it, finally got the kiss I wanted and then all hell hit.

I’m intrigued to see what happens next to Lincoln and Rae.
