The Rules of Persuasion Review

The Rules of Persuasion by Amity Hope

1) Take things slow (her rule)

2) Make it believable (his rule)

After tragedy hit her family, Meg Matthews officially crossed the line from “good girl” to “bad girl.” Motorcycle? Check. Graffiti? Check. The only thing Meg hadn’t planned on was blackmail. Too bad now a certain infuriating boy holds Meg’s future in his hands…

When Luke Prescott—star pitcher and town golden boy—catches Meg vandalizing the school, she’s given two choices: face the consequences or enter into a fake relationship with him to get his parents and his ex off his back.

But as Meg and Luke grow closer, they both realize they’ve been keeping secrets from each other. Their fake relationship might be doomed from the start—if they can’t learn to open up to the one person they never thought they’d trust.

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains late-night graffiti sessions, flirty baseball lessons, and a never-ending list of relationship rules just made to be broken.

First Thoughts

When I was on the Entangled Teen Crush website, this book caught my eye. I was so excited to read it because it looked like a book I could get lost in for a while. Unfortunately, the book starts off a bit slow but soon recovers, and has you reading day and night. This book gets you all in your feels and breaks your heart at points. Here's my honest review of this book.

Review

So yes, this book has a slow start, but because it's the back story of Meg, I'd say its necessary. After that moment of the book is over, it gets right into the drama that we all crave.

Even though the "swoony" scenes are limited and under narrated, the book still gets you in all your feels and will hold on to them through the thick and think of this book. Even though you may understand why Meg does some of the stuff she does, it doesn't stop you from asking her...

Overall this book is the one to read, for the way it captures your attention (after the slow beginning) and the way it makes you feel like you're Meg. This book has all the ups and the dreadful downs, that we may not always love but continue reading through.
