Description: When Scarlett Hughes's sister returns home from school pregnant and surprisingly married to a sweet man she has no interest in, Scarlett is forced to take a look inward for the first time. She discovers the necessity of dreams as well as the necessity of facing reality and speaking the truth.
Review: The Six Rules of Maybe is the wonderfully written story of Scarlett, a caring, incredibly kind girl who feels the need to help everything and everyone even when it's not her place. When her older sister Juliet returns home for the summer revealing she is pregnant and married to a man her family has never met before, as always Scarlett feels it is her duty to take care of and help Juliet. Soon, things get complicated as Juliet seeks out one of her former boyfriends and loses interest in her seemingly perfect husband, Hayden. Meanwhile Scarlett finds herself falling head over heels for him. Eager to help everyone and fix everything as usual, Scarlett stumbles her way through summer, realizing you can't control everything no matter how hard you try. I really love the kind character that Scarlett is and she inspired me to do more random acts of kindness in my life. I was also in awe of the mysterious character that is Juliet, wondering what it is about her that makes her so irresistible.
Bottom Line: I am in love with the wonderful characters in this book and I had a hard time putting it down!
