Review: The Rules for Disappearing


Poor Meg has no clue why she is in the witness protection program. She got home one night, and bang, the cops were there to relocate the entire family. To make matters worse, there are so many rules: no making friends, no school clubs or fancy jobs, no calling any attention to oneself....

Ugh! Forget about losing phone privileges. Not being allowed to have your own personality is by far the worst punishment ever. But does this mean Meg is a whiny, bitter, cold character? No.

Instead, Ashley Elston gives us a strong willed, kind, and hardworking female lead. Not only does Meg take care of her younger sister; she takes care of her alcoholic mother too. All while working and attending school. In a lot of ways, Meg is a role model.

The actions scenes are well paced and the love meter is very high, even making this BookCupid blush.

Bring on the sequel.
