The Bad Boy Rule by Maren Moore

5.0

---

I’ve loved all of Maren’s books, but this one hit a little different. I’m absolutely obsessed. I’m a sucker for the broody, gruff, broken MMCs, and I fell head over heels for Saint. Oh my heart hurt for him and his story. He’s a bad boy, he’s from the “wrong side of the tracks,” but there’s so much more to him than he lets people know. I adored Lennon and her determination to finally live life on her own, to figure out what she wants. I loved the tension between these two. I loved that Lennon didn’t just put up with Saint–she stood up to him and saw behind that mask he wears. Both Saint & Lennon have been trapped in a way, more similar than they might appear on paper, and I loved how well they understood each other. I just really really really loved this one so much.
