The Rules for Hearts


Author:  Sara Ryan

Publisher:  Penquin, 2007

Edition:  Print

Where I got the book:  Strathcona High School Library

Publisher's Summary:

Battle Hall Davies is sure of some things: she's going to Reed this fall; she loves girls; and her older brother, Nick, is cooler and more together than she'll ever be.  Nick ran away from home when Battle was thirteen.  Now, four and a half years later, he's tracked her down, and she's spending the summer between high school and college in Forest House, the group home where he lives in Portland.

It is a summer of surprises.  Battle is swept into Forest House's community Shakespeare production and its all-night card games, and into the arms of her new housemate, Meryl.  It turns out that Nick is not who Battle thought he was - and Battle's not who she thought she was, either.  The Rules for Hearts is a story about secrets, revealed truths , and the ins and outs of all kinds if love.
