The Summer of Broken Rules

By: K. L. Walther

Narrated by: Lyssa Browne

Meredith's family's annual game of assassin at Martha's Vineyard during a summer wedding is the perfect chance to honor her sister's legacy, and finally join the world again. But when she forms an alliance with a cute groomsman, she's at risk of losing both the game . . . and her heart.

When Meredith Fox lost her sister, Claire, eighteen months ago, she shut everyone out. But this summer she's determined to join the world again.

The annual family vacation to Martha's Vineyard seems like the perfect place to reconnect. Her entire extended family is gathering for a big summer wedding, and although Meredith is dateless after being unexpectedly dumped, she's excited to participate in the traditional Fox family game of assassin that will take place during the week of wedding festivities. Claire always loved the game, and Meredith is determined to honor her legacy.

But when Meredith forms an assassin alliance with a cute groomsman, she finds herself getting distracted. Meredith tries to focus on the game and win it for her sister, but she can't help falling for him. And as the week progresses, she realizes she's not only at risk of losing the game, but also her heart.

A must read for romcom fans

This book has everything: summer/vacation vibes leading to a wedding, a huge game of assassins, pies, Taylor Swift references, and so much love. While this is a YA, as a librarian it’s one I’d recommend to adult romance readers too. There’s such a wide appeal to the writing. It’s fun with depth and texture that give it an emotional weight in the best way. Highly recommend.

The whole thing

The relationship that her and her sister had made me cry every time mer talked about Clair

Loved it so much

Loved this book so much. I’ve read it so many times that getting the audiobook was a great experience.

I loved the story and the characters
It just consumed me and I spent all month reading it!!! I hope I love my next book just as much.

Loved the story but……

The narration was not good. Would have loved it to be narrated by someone like Julia Whelan. Just ruined it for me. Would have rather read it.
