The Rules of Falling for You is a Cute Rom Com

 When Mollie Rushmeyer first hinted about The Rules of Falling for You, I have been chomping at the bit to read this story. Jane Austen + Rom-Com= English major dreams!

I was even more ecstatic when Mollie selected me to be on her influencer team for this book. I had the privilege of being on her street teams for The Bookshop of Secrets and The Lost Manuscript. 

Warning: Don't read this book in public if you are prone to laughing out loud. Most of my reading of The Rules of Falling for You was done over my lunch break in the cafeteria. I may have gotten some strange looks from my colleagues. 

Zoe Dufour, a podcast content creator of Regency etiquette and era-approved rules hopes to find her perfect match at a Regency-themed singles retreat, a modern-day gentleman that meets every one of her nonnegotiable checklist.

Harrison Lindquist is her BFF's brother and podcast producer reluctantly agrees to tag along at the event to capture footage. I liked the dual POV of The Rules of Falling for You with both Zoe and Harrison's perspectives. It showed how differently men and women view events.  

The friend-to-more is a classic trope, and I liked how the author kept the reader guessing. Harrison and Zoe's chemistry is what kept me reading this book. At times, Zoe's laser focus on her nonnegotiable checklist for the perfect suitor drove me a little nutty. I may have wanted to shake some sense into her a couple of moments during this story. Perhaps, Mollie wrote Zoe this way to show us we can all be blind to what's right in front of us. 

If you're a Janeite or an Austenite you will absolutely love Mollie's references to this beloved British author's novels. Spot on perfection in this modern-day romance read. It made me want to re-visit some of my favorite works by Jane Austen and also brought a smile to my face. 

I'd rate The Rules of Falling for You a solid four out of five stars. The reason this book wasn't a five-star is mainly due to Zoe. She was so focused on sticking to her list of qualities it made me a little frustrated with her. The plot, pacing and humorous secondary characters made this a delightful read and I look forward to reading more books by Mollie Rushmeyer.   

Reading is an adventure,
