review 1: Let me start by saying that i enjoyed the book and definitely recommend it...I look forward to reading more from Cindy Rizzo!!Thought that it was a little slow paced at times however the characters were very well developed. I could really relate to how the main charactrs used avoidance, etc. and failed to deal with their problems as a result. There was actually alot more story that could have been told...quite a few peripheral characters that would provide alot of good story as well!!Well done for your first novel Cindy and I hope to see many more to come!
review 2: "Exception to the Rule" is unique and different from what I've seen in other books featuring lesbian main characters, which makes it all the more spectacular as Cindy Rizzo's debut novel. The chara... morecters are smart, edgy, and real. The writing is polished and the story will keep you riveted. This perfectly-crafted book actually falls into several genres: the romance, les fic, and new adult and college genres, and that's a good thing, because it's encouraging to see a book with gay characters that can appeal to a much wider audience.I particularly enjoyed the fact that the characters don’t fit the usual mold, meaning author Cindy Rizzo veered away from placing them in the usual male-dominated professions found in at least some of these genres. You won't find characters who are cops, doctors, EMTs, or ranch owners, but you will find successfully crafted, believable characters who are still strong and all-out gutsy."Exception to the Rule" goes beyond a typical romance--it takes on difficult and sometimes gritty subjects such as the struggle to fit in as a gay young adult during freshman year in college, homelessness among LGBT youth, and coming out of the closet in less than accepting parts of the US. It also follows the characters as they strive to realize their professional dreams while doing everything possible to avoid falling in love.This is an exceptional first effort for author Cindy Rizzo. "Exception to the Rule" should have wide appeal, spanning multiple age groups and genres. I can't wait to see what this author does next. less
