The Rules of Rebellion

Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I like Amity Hope's stories. I've read a few now. The rules of rebellion can definitely be read as a standalone. The rules of persuasion is about the main character's sister but it isn't necessary to read it to enjoy this story.

Kylie is feeling a bit left out. Her best friends all have boyfriends and Kylie wants a little more excitement in her life. She always follows the rules and lives on the safe side of the fence. She makes a list of rebellious acts she would like to try but before she can finish it the list goes missing.

Leo has had a crush on Kylie as long as he can remember but doesn't think he's good enough for her to take the risk of losing their friendship. Kylie doesn't have a clue he feels this way. He is in a similar boat with his friends because they all have girlfriends. His family life isn't working out the way he would like. His family are only supportive of the hobbies they want him to do. Leo is a bit of a pushover. He's super nice. Super sweet and cute as a button. He finds Kylie's list and although it will be embarrassing for both of them, he takes a risk and returns it to her. He has a plan to help her reach her goals. This is Leo's shot at getting some one on one time with Kylie.

This is a sweet romance. Kylie pulls all the strings. Leo shows how great he is and the pair gets on really well. This is Kylie's story of getting everything she wants by taking a risk. 4 stars out of 5.

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Kylie has always played it safe both in her life experiences and relationships. When she decides to try some new things before she graduates high school, her friend Leo offers to help.

What Kylie doesn't realize is that Leo has had a crush on her for years, and the list gives him a reason to spend time with her.

I liked the progression of their relationship, and that they seemed to build on their friendship in addition to their romantic feelings for each other. This made the plot feel more realistic, especially as they supported and encouraged each other's dreams and hobbies.

This is the second book set in this friend group but can be read as a standalone. I have not read the first one, but am looking forward to checking it out.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC for an honest review.

I received The Rules of Rebellion by Amity Hope from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. It does not impact my review.

I liked The Rules of Rebellion much better than the last Crush book I read and most people should know I do like these books. They are usually quick, easy reads for me.

The Rules of Rebellion met my expectations. You don't have to read the other books in this series to know what is going on, but Luke and Meg do appear in this book so if you read this book first you will want to have the first book on hand right away. I liked how this book kind of had similar elements to the first one with the rebellion and the artist, but they weren't exactly the same. Kylie had a bucket list and on her bucket list she wanted to cause some trouble to make her life seem more interesting. Leo was a baseball player, but what he liked to do was to turn stuff into artwork.

I liked Leo very much too.

The romance between the two was believable to me. I liked all of the side characters and I liked how the characters grew in this book. The Rules of Rebellion is a four out of five star read.

For the most part this was a sweet little YA romance. While the tension and plot were slightly underwhelming at times, the characters were likeable and the writing was solid.

A quick fun read.

I received this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I loved this book. I love the idea of a bucket list and I am so glad it was included in this book! Leo is such a great character and I'm so glad that everything worked out for them.

This is a high school romance, featuring the girl who is usually oh so good finally rebelling with the help of the boy who has secretly crushed on her for years! Of course, nothing is simple or straightforward for them! Candy maker extraordinaire, Kylie Jenkins is given a wake up call by her younger sister who informs her she is determined not to live a life as boring as Kylie’s. This gets Kylie starting a list of things she wants to do during her last year at High School….. When Leo Zimmerman finds the dropped list and reads it he decides to offer to help her complete the challenges and so give himself a reason to be with the girl he’s crushed on for years. However, events with their siblings could have a seriously detrimental impact on their budding romance and will definitely influence their parents’ attitudes to the couple!

I was very pleasantly surprised by how this story draws the reader in, bringing the characters to life and making it easy to empathise with them in their times of trouble. I particularly appreciated how the main characters face up to their mistakes and are brave enough to admit to them and apologise. When you learn what happened to Kylie’s older sister it is much easier to understand the protective nature of her parents and I was so impressed with Leo’s maturity in decision making, using his talents despite being denigrated by his Dad and how he tries to put things right for everyone. It is a story filled with little rebellions, lots of love and much more trouble! A great read, I have no hesitation in recommending it to teens and adults who appreciate a well written, fast paced high school saga.

I requested and was lucky enough to be given a copy of this novel, via NetGalley, with no obligation. This is my honest review of the book after choosing to read it.

That I'm a fan Crush , this who knows me knows, but now I'm becoming a fan of Amity Hope. In Rules of the Persuasion, I cheered a lot for the main couple and found the plot wonderful and different. In Rules of Rebellion, it was no different, she brought characters so real and sweet that makes me want to enter the book and join the story with them.
Leo is an enchanted prince and has had a crush on Kylie since always, since Kylie is interested in James but does not want to leave her comfort zone and approach the guy, her sister tries to make Leo call Kylie for a date, but she didn’t see how much the guy is interested in her. When Leo discovers a way to get closer to Kylie, he does everything to win the girl. I loved the way he went step by step showing the girl how special she was and slowly she did the same for him.
The book brings the characters from the previous book and others that end up making everything more dynamic.
I liked the familiar approach that the writer gave, even though I did not agree a little with the behavior of the parents of both characters, for me two extremes. Anyway ...
I loved the plot, the point of conflict that almost made me enter the book and give a beating on a certain character that I can not speak for being too spoiler.
I loved the cover so very much!!!!
Another great young adult.
