The Summer of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther

The Summer of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther (published in 2021) is a beloved Young Adult contemporary romance that became a massive sensation on BookTok. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Martha’s Vineyard, it is a quintessential summer read packed with family traditions, healing from grief, and a high-stakes game of Assassin.

Fans of Taylor Swift (especially the Lover and Fearless eras) will feel right at home, as the author filled the book with subtle "Swiftie" easter eggs.

The story follows Meredith Fox, who is returning to her family’s annual summer retreat on Martha's Vineyard for the first time since her beloved older sister, Claire, tragically passed away eighteen months prior. The entire extended Fox clan is gathering for a massive event: Meredith’s cousin’s wedding.

Meredith is determined to use this trip to face her grief, reconnect with her family, and honor Claire's memory. The highlight of the family reunion is a legendary, multi-day, island-wide game of Assassin—a tradition Claire used to love. Meredith is hyper-focused on winning the tournament in her sister's honor.

Her strategy hits a roadblock when she forms an alliance with Wit Fitzgerald, the charming, handsome stepbrother of the groom. Though they are technically targets in the game and shouldn't trust each other, they strike a deal to help each other survive. As they sneak around the island, hide in closets, and dodge family members, their fake alliance quickly sparks a very real, fast-burning romance. Meredith finds herself forced to choose between winning the game or losing her heart to the boy who is helping her learn how to live and laugh again.
