Review
The Rules of Magic is an utterly compelling an exquisitely told story. As the characters grow into adulthood they learn to embrace who they are. It’s a coming of age story filled with angst, triumph, self-discovery and love. This book is about a lot of things but especially about love.
There is really not much I can say about this book without giving anything away except that it was truly magical.
“I just do the best I can to face what life brings. That’s the secret, you know. That’s the way you change your fate.”
