Simone Breaks All the Rules by Debbie Rigaud
2.0
I wanted to like this book but I didn’t feel any strong connection to any of the characters besides Simone a bit. Mainly because Simone is Haitian and I’m half Haitian myself. This book is really predictable so I already know Simone was going to fall for Ben but their relationship felt rushed. I like Ben but since not much time is spent on him in the book, he feels a bit bland. Simone suddenly liking Ben also felt weird since she spent half of the book being rude to him.
I like Simone’s friendship with the HomeGirls and her cousin Gabby but if I’m being honest, they weren’t that memorable. I just wish the romance was better developed and that the characters were more in depth and not so forgettable. I did love the fact that Simone is Haitian-American and proud. I think that’s one of the few things that I really love about this book. Other than that, I’m a bit disappointed by how this novel turned out.
