Rules and Roses by Heather LongMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Really Good Contemporary NA Reverse Harem
I’d give this 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This is one of the best NA Reverse Harems I’ve come across, because it gets it right. It gets the confusion and the screw ups and the rampant hormones of being a teenager and having feelings for friends of the opposite sex. Some of them have some experience, some have none and neither of those two extremes are wrong or right, but I liked that none of them were extremely experienced.
Frankie is in her senior year of high school and is very bright and very driven to get out of Texas and that requires money and grades. She also has a mother who isn’t really around and treats her daughter more like a room mate and a nonexistent father. She also has four best friends who happen to be the four most popular and good looking guys in school. This has made her quite unpopular with the female population. Then she finds out that the guys had warned off any other guy at school from asking her out she becomes hurt and enraged and takes the Summer away from her friends to try and work out how she feels about the way they have treated her.
As someone who had good looking male friends in school I understand how differently you get treated by girls because of this. The girls either pretend to be your friend to get close to the guy they like or they cut you dead because you’re not good enough for the guy they like, even though you are just friends. This book really brought back some memories for me and I felt for Frankie (even if she is a fictional character).
I loved how detailed the author was about the characters and their hobbies and personalities. I felt like I got to know all of them during the course of the book and I really felt a connection to them, which made me want to keep on reading, just one more chapter.
Everything was very carefully thought out and paced and the style of writing was natural and unforced. It was so easy to read and I got sucked in quickly to the book because of it.
I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book, and I will definitely be looking at some of the other series this new to me author has written.
