"Rules for Rulebreaking" by Talia Tucker

Review by jjj000yyy

Thank you to the publisher for the advanced reader copy! This book is now available for sale.

This is a cute childhood enemies-to-lovers romance between long-time family friends, Winter Park and Bobby Bae. They have survived high school with minimal interaction until now, but since that college is at the forefront of everyone's minds, they're convinced to go on a college tour trip together.

This is a very fluffy romance-forward read. The cover of this book is this very sweet cotton candy look and the contents match it perfectly. There is some exploration of what it means to be Korean in an American context from the two characters as one is a very hardworking person who skipped a grade but makes it look easy while the other has issues with speaking and understanding Korean but is equally just as proficient in academic studies. These two eventually take a risk by breaking outside of their strict rule-following natures and eventually get to know each other better in the process.

If you're looking for a cute, sweet, and light Korean American teen romance, I highly recommend "Rules for Rulebreaking" as it doesn't disappoint.
