Right when I picked up the book I immediately wondered what in the world were the "Alison Rules?" I was surprised to find out that it is the rules of how Alison lives her life to keep herself, and her heart, safe. To help her stick to the rules she enrolls her one and only friend Laurie. Laurie is the life of the party. She is always there to make Alison laugh. She is the one that brings Alison out of her shell and pull her into the social circle of parties and fun. Without Laurie, Alison would stay in the limelight, hiding from those around her and never letting anybody in. Why does Alison act this way though? Why is she so reserved unless Laurie is around? You learn that Alison's mother has passed away and that she herself did not know it would soon be the end for her mom. She would not believe it and did not give herself time to come to this realization until it was too late. After the death of her mother she went into a depression state and Laurie was the only one who could bring her out of this.
This is a book of coming to terms with the past, and letting down your guard so that you may enjoy the future. Alison has to learn that her rules are not going to save her from everything, and that there are some things she just cannot control-Laurie's crazy antics being one of them. Join Alison as she travels through her Sophomore year of high school, comes to term with her mother's death, makes a new friend, and maybe even lets her guard down a little. If you are like me this book will make you cry-hard. But that just means you can truly feel for the characters and understand where Alison is coming from. Don't just let this one pass you by, pick it up.
