She’s so awful that you just cross your fingers and hope that something horrible happens to her. She’s the high school bitch that I wanted to rip to shreds. They just clicked so well and I loved their witty banter! And there are some DELICIOUS kissing scenes! Swoon.Īnd then there’s Rachel… God. Although it wasn’t exactly riddled with intensity, I enjoyed it! I think mostly because Ariane and Zane had great chemistry and were so perfect for each other. A large portion of the book is focused on the high school drama-dealing with bullies, figuring out who’s a real friend and who’s a fake friend, small revenge pranks, and just surviving in high school.
The Rules doesn’t have a ton of action in it, but I was okay with it. But we quickly start to uncover Zane’s sensitive, sweet side and realize that he’s actually a nice guy running with a bad crowd. Ariane is constantly fighting to stay under the radar, and Zane is trying to move past his old life of being a bit of an arrogant prick. Both characters have demons from their pasts that they struggle to live with every day. I didn’t expect to get a glimpse into both characters’ minds, so that was a pleasant surprise! Both of them were fabulous characters for different reasons, and in many ways they are completely perfect for each other. The story is told from alternating points of view: Ariane’s and Zane’s. It’s more about evil corporations, first loves, tender and hesitant romance, high school drama, and bullies, all with a small sci-fi twist. Although it does have sci-fi elements, they don’t dominate the story at all. The Rules reads surprisingly like a contemporary book, and that’s one of the things that made me love it so much. Suddenly, nothing is simple anymore, especially not the rules. After years of trying to be invisible, Ariane finds the attention frightening-and utterly intoxicating. Ariane's survival-and that of her adoptive father-depends on her ability to blend in among the full-blooded humans in a small Wisconsin town, to hide in plain sight at her high school from those who seek to recover their lost (and expensive) "project."īut when a cruel prank at school goes awry, it puts her in the path of Zane Bradshaw, the police chief's son and someone who sees too much. Ariane Tucker has followed them since the night she escaped from the genetics lab where she was created, the result of combining human and extraterrestrial DNA.
