After reading Rules of the Road,I came to a few conclusions. One is that its story line (about a girl whose responsibilities are choking her, life ect) is very original but not very but not very interesting. However, I thought the characters were true to life and reminded me of people I know. All in all, this book realy didnot grab my attention and I would not suggest it to other people, but if you like to read about overcoming the everyday hardships of life then go for it.
