Book: Love Rules by Freya North

I think a good writer is someone who can deliver his/her story - good storyline, good characters in the story, interesting writing, at least enough to get the reader flip to the next page.

A great writer has the above, plus the ability to make the reader / audience / listener connect emotionally with the characters. Feel the highs and lows of the storyline. Eager to turn the page to find out "What now?" and "OMG OMG! What's gonna happen?!?!" and "I can't believe she did THAT!! What if he knew? She is SO dead!" hehe..

The past few visits to Kinokuniya and MPH have led me to grab the book 'Love Rules' by Freya North, but every single time I would be putting it back on the shelf - I don't know why I didn't buy it before.
And after reading it, I thought to myself "Why the hell didn't I buy this book sooner??"

I like the storyline, I love the characters in the book. And the way Ms North writes, I'm sooo tempted to skip some chapters, just so I know what's going to happen. Hehe.. you can say sometimes I'm half mad with the suspense.

Littered with funny parts here and there, I even caught myself grinning while reading this book in the LRT (Ahh.. I don't care what people think. I'm enjoying the book! Hehehehhe..!)

The book tells of the lives of 4 main characters - Thea, Alice, Saul and Mark. And how their lives entertwined with one another.
Some moral issues were raised, and I must say there were a couple issues which I certainly did not agree - on the way they were tackled.

I cried reading some parts of the book, they were filled with raw emotions that I could help but feel sad for the characters involved.

This is a good read, of course.
In the end, love doesn't necessarily rule, but it sure plays a big part.

And if you do get this book, just be prepared for the rollercoaster ride of emotions.
