Critics Review

Praise for Rules for Rule Breaking by Talia Tucker:

Amazon’s Best of the Month (March)
Read With Jenna Jr Summer Reading List (May 2024)

“Tucker’s debut is full of fun, slow-burn, romantic comedy hallmark moments…A thoughtful coming-of-age story filled with rom-com cuteness.”
Kirkus Reviews

“Satisfying, laugh-out-loud road-trip debut…Tucker levies dynamic storytelling via the duo’s alternating POVs to present a lightweight rom-com that captures the thrill of spontaneity and budding romance.”
Publishers Weekly

“[Winter and Bobby] are such imperfectly perfect teens, [I wanted] to cringe,then hug them. Empathetic and instantly compelling.”
—CLAIRE AHN, author of I Guess I Live Here Now

“You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be begging Winter and Bobby to kiss. Readers, prepare a permanent spot on your must-buy list for Talia Tucker!”
—TESS SHARPE, author of The Girls I’ve Been

Rules for Rule Breaking took me on a journey filled with self-discovery [and] sparkling chemistry… Talia Tucker is a debut author to watch.”
—SARAH SUK, author of The Space Between Here & Now and Made in Korea

“My favorite kind of rom-com: smart, snappy, and swoon-worthy.”
—MICHELLE QUACH, author of Not Here to Be Liked

Enemies-to-lovers done right, and an immediate favorite.”
—SERENA KAYLOR, author of Long Story Short
