review 1: This is an enjoyable, light story about two boyhood friends meeting again 10 years after high school - and exploring a new friendship.Jonah had been disowned by his parents at 18 and left town to start a life in Calgary, and he is still dealing with the aftermath of that experience. He is out but has had no lasting relationships and hides in his work. The death of his mother has brought him home.Neil has come home to support Jonah even though they haven't seen each other for 10 years. Neil was Jonah's high school crush. Neil is now a plice officer and is openly bisexual.The story is how they come to know about each other, their fledgling relationship and how it progresses when they are 3000 miles apart. Jonah's insecurities are fairly deep set and form the basis of the tu... morermoil in the book.
review 2: I don't usually read this genre, but Jade Buchanan is such a fine writer I've devoured several of her books. This one is a departure from her usual light style. Sure, it still has her signature humor, but delivers a potent message, as well. Broken Rules deals with loss, and prejudice--universal themes everyone can relate to. And Buchanan does it with finesse. She doesn't bash you over the head. It's a story about family, and love, and how sometimes the two don't seem to mesh. At least, not the way you'd wish. A definite recommend. less
