My Review:

      Simone nailed yet another teenage love story with Rules of Attraction. I loved this book as much if not more than Perfect Chemistry. It really tells a beautiful story of love. Now of course, the story is to good to be true but as always, who cares. I could not put this book down. I even re-read it a couple times. I just plain love the book.
