The Unwritten Rule, Elizabeth Scott

In Elizabeth Scott's book, The Unwritten Rule, Sarah has found herself stuck between making two important decisions: hurting the feelings of her long-time best friend, Brianna, which can potentially break their friendship apart, or being with the boy of her dreams, Ryan, whom she has loved since the eight grade. The problem is Ryan is Brianna's boyfriend, and we all know the unwritten rule, which is to never like your best friends boyfriend. So, as tension builds up, secrets come out in the open, and emotions are relieved, Sarah's fight to make the right decision slowly starts to become harder.

You may say that the story-line in this book, The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott, is very comparable to the way friendship between young teen girls in reality is. I really liked this book because it felt realistic from the beginning to the very end. I thought the characters were very raw by the way they put themselves out, which was helped by the well written description of each and every emotion they felt. Also, the cover of the book (two pairs of feet, with a purple background) was very eye-catching, and i thought was very cute. The sweet cover page is what lured me to read the book in the first place.
