Breaking the Rules of Revenge Kindle Edition
Mallory Jones is tired of being the girl who stays home and practices French horn while her identical twin, Blake, is crowned homecoming queen. So when she has the opportunity to pretend to be Blake, she takes it. At Camp Pine Ridge, she will spread her wings and emerge a butterfly. Or at least someone who finally gets kissed by a cute guy. That is, until bad boy Ben Iron Cloud shows up, ready to get revenge on Blake—aka Mallory.
If it weren’t for that infuriating girl, Ben wouldn’t even be at camp. Luckily, he now has six weeks to soak up some rays and get even with his nemesis. But the more time he spends with Blake, the more he realizes she’s nothing like the girl he thought she was—she’s kind and innocent and suddenly way too tempting. And soon enough, revenge is the last thing on his mind. Unfortunately, the girl he’s falling for is keeping a major secret...
Disclaimer: This book contains a super-hot bad boy out for revenge, all sorts of camp hijinks, and a girl who realized she’s been a butterfly all along.

All in all an okay read, but not close to one of the best YA romances, I've read.
Mallory is the very best kind of teenage female protagonist (meaning the book-loving, klutzy, smart, and adorable kind). She agrees to take her identical twin sister's identity for the summer because Blake's punishment (summer camp) sounds like it might actually be fun. It has the added bonus of giving Mallory the chance to walk in Blake's shoes, even though they're heels and Mallory can barely remain vertical in them. When she discovers her sister's mortal enemy, Ben Iron Cloud, is also at the camp, things get interesting (and hilarious). The two take to pulling pranks on each other, but it isn't long before their animosity fades and pranking turns to crushing. The only problem is, Ben thinks he's falling for Blake. Could he ever fall for a girl like Mallory?
All I can say is I found myself skimming more than halfway through the book. Mallory as the "good twin" begins to become extremely tiresome as she flips/flops to be her twin sister. I also found it hard to believe that the two go to the same school and no one has an idea that they are twins especially Ben?
Ben is OK as the young adult male boyfriend but that is all you can really say about him. He really plays the descriptor about Mallory's twin sister who is as horrible as Mallory is bland.
Mallory is in her head most of the time about how she doesn't measure up to the twin, pranks are played on each other between Ben and Mallory, etc...... the pranks, the "I'm not good enough spiel" it just repeats too many times to go somewhere interesting. I did head toward the last couple chapters and even they with the HEA, I just found even through past half the book the characters to be trite and colorless.
I have a thing for camp books. Like, I really like camp books (i. e. why I have a thing for them - wow, I'm being Princess Obvious). Therefore, the moment I saw some trees on the cover, I WAS LIKE, THAT'S A CAMP BOOK AND I WANT TO READ IT. While the book started off strong, it fell apart for me and my camp love couldn't quite save it.
There were quite a few good things that I did enjoy about the novel. As I said, I was fully invested for about 40% of the novel and it was riding at easily a 4 crown rating. Bohrman has a very easy writing style, and it really does feel like the perfect, easy read to pick up when summer is winding down with fall up on deck. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the setting of camp was a lot of fun.
Our main characters were fun as well. Gosh, I could relate to Mallory. She has a perchance for regency romance, and dear gosh, I wanted the book that she was reading so badly. I literally kept going, um, I need an update on the duke and Lydia. They were some of my favorite parts of the novel. I've never been so invested in such a ridiculously small subplot before and I think the author deserves a major round of applause for making me care so much about that. Other than that, I could relate with Mallory in other ways, and I thought she was quite real and realistic.
One of the issues I had was that it seems to get a bit too repetitive. After reading about the pranks and whole keeping a secret thing, I felt like something had to give. Yes, the twist was put in, but it took a little too long to get there and then I grew restless and bored. And then when it did come, I knew it was going to happen and I didn't really care as much because I was so done with waiting for it. I just bored and felt so eh.
And then the characters. While I had an investment in them in the beginning, I thought their growth got a bit stunted. Some of it didn't feel as natural as it should have been, and I really kind of just stopped rooting them on. There was the whole reveal tension, of course, and that was amazing, but then the aftermath didn't feel as satisfactory for me. The ending just felt so meh to me and I kind of just...I felt nothing at the end, and you're usually supposed to have a super happy feeling at the end of a contemporary novel.
I'm not sure if I even explained my thoughts on this properly, but it did feel like this book had an odd switch. The beginning half of the story was very strong, and I thought it was fun and a perfect end of summer read. However, lack of growth in the story and characters brought the ending half down for me, and I failed to get into the ending half due to that. 2 crowns and a Cinderella rating!
