Book Blurb
If you want more, you have to give less.
That’s the secret to dating in high school. By giving as little as they expect to get in return, seventeen-year-old Aubrey Housing and her three best friends have made it to the second semester of their senior year heartbreak-free. And it’s all thanks to a few simple rules: don’t commit, don’t be needy, and don’t give away your heart.
So when smoking-hot Nathan Diggs transfers to Lincoln High, it shouldn’t be a big deal. At least that’s what Aubrey tells herself. But Nathan’s new-boy charm, his kindness, and his disarming honesty throw Aubrey off her game and put her in danger of breaking the most important rule of all: Don’t fall in love.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Aubrey is a senior in high school. She has worked hard and gotten into Barron, a prestigious college ten hours away. Now she is getting some freedom to hang out with her best friends. She and her friends have these rules that they go by especially when it comes to boys. Shelby came up with them and any girl who lives by them is considered evolved.
Aubrey and her friends don’t believe in relationships in high school. They never last, so why bother. They are determined to have fun and not get serious about anyone. They are not hurt if a boy leaves them for someone else. They also have exit strategies when they are ready to move on. These rules protect them from getting hurt.
However when Aubrey meets Nathan, she starts questioning things. She is still playing by the rules but she is having feelings for Nathan that she can’t admit to. She falls farther for Nathan but then things go wrong. The betrayal is huge and Aubrey’s ideas about the rules are shattered.
I didn’t care for this book at all. The characters were selfish and hateful. I can’t believe they remained friends with the stuff they did to each other. How could they be that gullible and completely naïve? Their behavior was destructive and hurtful.
I didn’t like the storyline. The boys ended up being creeps and the girls horrible to each other. I’m thankful I didn’t attend that school. I had no respect for any of the characters, including Nathan by the time this story concluded. I give it a 1 out of 5.
