Writing the Rules by Mariah Dietz
5.0
This was a story that I have been waiting to read since Lincoln and Rae got their HEA. I knew I wanted Poppy with someone good but I never thought she'd find great. Paxton is definitely that great. I love that their love story actually started years ago, even though they never truly saw it. Pax had me worried in all the prior books. He was on a crash course to complete destruction, and Candace was steering the car. That girl was a capital B that I never liked, especially in this book. The moment Pax finally shed her from his life was the moment I finally believed in him. If anyone deserves a happily ever after its him.
Poppy was so wonderful to read about. She was this shy introvert just trying to find herself. I loved all of her special moments with Pax, especially at the pizzeria. Her interactions with Mike bothered me though. He was like that festering hair that you just can never get rid of; super annoying and never seeming to take the hint.
I love the bond that all of these friends have and I'm glad that we got a slight glimpse of each of them in the epilogue. My love for Lincoln and Rae hasn't diminished but after reading Paxton and Poppy's story I have found an equal love for both couples. I mean who doesn't love a best friend's sibling story, especially when they are as tight as these two couples are.
I'm sad to see this group of friends go. They will definitely be missed; loved and missed.
