Hallie's Rules for a Recovering Romantic—
$23.98
The Story
Perfect for fans of Erin Baldwin and Elise Bryant, this sapphic rom-com--a companion novel to Nav's Foolproof Guide to Falling in Love--stars a girl determined to reinvent herself, in life and in love.
Hallie loves romance, but it doesn't seem to love her back. Her six-time broken heart can attest to that.
So when Hallie has the chance to attend a prestigious academic summer camp, she sees an opportunity not just to better herself, but to reinvent herself. Into a new Hallie who will succeed where the old one failed--in school, friends, and especially love.
First, a fresh start--which means no romance, all summer. If Hallie's fortitude is immediately tested by Julia, her gorgeous camp roommate with an uncrackable icy shell, then all the better! Reinvention is never easy!
Yet as Hallie and Julia get closer, Hallie's heart is in more danger than ever. With the prospect of real love on the line, can Hallie trust that New Hallie won't make the mistakes that she did? Or is Julia looking for someone else--the unfiltered, unaltered, real Hallie?
Wish You Weren't Here meets I Think I Love You in this sweet, summer rom-com, where plans go wonderfully astray, the best rules are broken ones, and love might actually be just around the corner.
