The Unwritten Rule

by Elizabeth Scott

[Joni Reads]

Sara has wanted to be with Ryan for years and just when she thought she would get her chance, her best friend Brianna starts dating him instead. Sara tries to avoid seeing them together but after one fateful ride home, Ryan kisses Sara and her world is turned upside. Forced to decide between her best friend and the boy that she has wanted to be with since the 8th grade.

I really liked this book. I could connect so well to the characters, though I have never been in the situation described in the book. Sara really wanted to be a good friend to Brianna, and I felt for her each time she had to watch him kiss her best friend. In Brianna's defense, she didn't know Sara even wanted to be with Ryan before they started dating. And after they started dating Sara couldn't tell her. But still, Brianna rubbed me the wrong way. She is the type of friend that says things that make you wonder why you are still friends with them.

The book was a lot shorter than I thought it would be. I finished it in only a few hours and I was sad that it was over. I will say that I wasn't left wondering what happened with the characters though. Not that I didn't get attached to them, just that it was well written and there were no loose ends.

Overall, a quick read that won't disappoint. Elizabeth Scott hits another home run with this book!
