Goodreads Synopsis
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.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Breaking the Rules of Revenge follows Mallory as she masquerades as her twin sister, Blake, while at Camp Pine Ridge. Being the quiet sister, she's never really had the opportunity to do anything, but now is perfect, as there will be next to no one there who knows either sister, and she might be able to find a cute guy to have fun with. The only problem, the cute guy - Ben - is hell bent on revenge against Blake, as it's all her fault that he's even at this camp. Mallory is caught unawares, and soon finds herself falling for Ben, who is also conflicted, as the girl in front of him is nothing like the one he wants to get even with, and he might also be developing feelings.
When I saw this book on NetGalley, and started to read it's synopsis, I was definitely interested about the revenge aspect of the story, and the enemies to lovers trope. There were definitely some really good moments in this book, but also times when I felt like a little bit was missing, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. I like Ben and Mallory's relationship, and the angst that was there. The camp aspect was something new too, but all in all, I wanted a bit more.
