About this ebook
“Beautifully written and hilarious, with a charming lost soul of a boy whom readers will fall in love with.” – Jennifer Echols, award-winning author of Going Too Far and Such a Rush
Sometimes, a few dares can change lives…
The weekend before the start of senior year, Sophie Erickson and her best friends, Ella and Grace, discover a handwritten list of dares tucked away in the glove compartment of Sophie’s beat-up old Toyota. But this isn’t just any list; it’s a dead girl's bucket list.
Sophie’s beloved aunt Suzy died as a teenager in a fatal fall, leaving Sophie with an overly cautious family, a few fading photographs, and a bucket of bolts that barely passes for a car. But now, Sophie has Suzy’s list of the things she wanted to do in her last year of high school. Sophie can't help but wonder: What would happen if she tried to fulfill Suzy’s last wishes, to live out the longed-for life of her aunt, her hero?
As Sophie and her friends attempt to knock off the things on Suzy's list of dares, love blossoms in unexpected places and Sophie begins to feel that her life is finally coming together...when in fact, everything is slowly unraveling around her. When the truth about a long-held family secret threatens to shatter everything she believed to be true, Sophie is forced to question everything she knew about the life and people she believed in, and ultimately herself.
None of the Regular Rules is a hilarious, heartbreaking, and sexy new novel from the author of Drive Me Crazy and Kiss It.
Praise for None of the Regular Rules:
“The heat between [Sophie and Johnny] is so great that if it wasn't an e-book, I'd be expecting the pages to catch fire…Johnny is seriously swoon-worthy, and gets more so every time he's on the page.” – YA Yeah Yeah
“A refreshing contemporary YA that makes for a great light read with a lot of realness to it.” – Love, Literature, Art, & Reason
“Johnny is simply crusherific! His quirky personality and escapades are different from the typical 'hot macho bad boy' lead males we get to love so often. You will fall in love with Johnny Rush, I promise.” – SupaGurl Books
“There haven't been many things that I have devoured while reading recently, and I finished this book in one sitting.” – Leilani Loves Books
“If you haven't read None of the Regular Rules...what are you waiting for? This is a MUST read. Walk, run to your computer and get it. You will not be disappointed.” – Le'Book Squirrel
“A compulsive read with memorable characters.” – Wondrous Reads
“I literally could not close my eyes until this book was finished...this book was extremely powerful.” – Swoon Worthy Books
Praise for Erin Downing’s other novels:
“[Kiss It] is a contemporary version of the book that Judy Blume wanted Forever to be—a book of good sex and good memories for an assertive girl who knows what she wants and goes after it with gusto and without apology.” – The Bulletin
“Spectacular moments of hilarity, yet at the same time, touches on some serious issues.” – The Story Siren (Kiss It was named one of The Story Siren’s ‘Most Hilarious Reads’ of 2010)
“Fast-paced romance…” – STACKED
“The ending was so sweet and perfect…” – An Addicted Book Reader
