The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott

Summary:

“There are a million rules for being a girl….and one of them is this: You don’t kiss your best friend’s boyfriend” (pg 115-16).

Sarah and Brianna have been best friends forever—ever since Kindergarten when Brianna saved Sarah from a class bully—but things really started to change between them when Brianna started dating Ryan this past summer. Sarah had liked Ryan since the eighth grade, but she hadn’t told a soul, not even Brianna. So, when Brianna starts asking Sarah to come along every time she and Ryan hang out, Sarah has some big decisions to make.

It’s a classic story of forbidden love, one that most girls can probably relate to in one way or another!

Why I picked it up:

Author Elizabeth Scott sent a free copy to our school library. How awesome is that!

Why I finished it:

I had to see how Sarah managed to sort everything out…and who she chose: Brianna, Ryan, or both?!?

Who I’d give to:

Teen girls who enjoy books filled with relationships. Friends, parents, boyfriends…this one has it all! Scott does a great job of capturing the ups and downs of being a teenager. This is a book that I think teens (and anyone who has ever been a teen!) will be able to relate to. Fans of Scott will love it!

My Rating

3.5 out of 5 stars. (Sometimes Sarah’s whining really annoyed and distracted me.)
