I DEVOURED this. It was dark and decadent and WOW. Was the ending rushed? Maybe.. idc.. also Henry? Theo? BUT I am yet to read a thriller that tops this so for now I will not be too picky.

It was good, just maybe not for me. It was nothing like what I expected.
The Summer of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther
funny

4.5
It starts by providing a family tree which made me nervous because I thought that I would struggle with the large number of characters in the story but, to my surprise, it actually worked quite well. K.L Walther wrote the novel very well and created a seamless story. The banter and communication between all the characters was very good and I caught myself chuckling at times. I loved the image of the farm and beach that was created. The idea of such a bubbly and intimate family was so heartwarming and just a lovely concept. I loved how seriously all the family members take the game. It made the story very fun and lighthearted. Overall it was a very cute novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think Wit may be my new favourite romance novel boyfriend.

I really did not want to put it down. It is a book that is so messed up and sad and perplexing that you just have an insatiable urge to find out more.
