The Alison Rules does not have actual rules but it's the idea that Alison has been restricting herself ever since her mom died. Restricting herself from living to the fullest. This story is about her trying to cope with everything and dealing with the new boy in town as well. It was a funny book
I loved it because I could connect to the grief that Alison felt and the new perspectives we may have about life afterwards. At the same time, you find yourself cheering her on because you know that she needs to move on as well, and when she makes that effort, it's definitely something that cheers you up.
Great book. Of all the Catherine Clark books I've read, I think this is the one that made me really think. Not that the others weren't great, they were, just different.

with witty characters throughout it. And then it also became a book that made me all teary-eyed. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but there you have it. That's my warning that you may find yourself feeling a little sad after reading it.I loved it because I could connect to the grief that Alison felt and the new perspectives we may have about life afterwards.

This is a pretty decent young adult book. Not great, but it has a pretty good story.
