The Edge Rules by Melanie Hooyenga
Sixteen-year old Brianna had everything she wanted: money to ski all over the world, underlings to do her bidding, and parents who gave her every freedom—as long as she played by their rules. But when she’s busted shoplifting and assigned to the Chain Gang, she ditches her shallow ways and realizes being herself is easier than manipulating people.

Forced to partner with kids she’d never dream of befriending, including Xavier, a boy who makes her pulse go into hyperdrive, Brianna vows to be a better person. Breaking Old Brianna’s habits isn’t easy, but her infatuation with Xavier—someone her parents would never approve of—motivates her to keep trying.

Even when he convinces her to trade her swanky skis for a beat-up snowboard.

Brianna lets go of her need to control everything and finally starts to feel free—until her past threatens to jeopardize her first real chance at love. She discovers balancing on the edge is as challenging in life as it is in snowboarding, and when a new friend is in trouble, Brianna must decide between the superficial things that used to be her world and putting her friend’s safety before herself.

*****

"THE EDGE RULES is perfect for readers looking for a book that is both socially relevant and charming." --IndieReader

"A great books for all romance lovers with a message of hope that all young people can benefit from." --YA Book Central

"...tightly plotted and well paced. This is a well-written book, both technically and aesthetically. Characters sound "real" and both plot arcs and language flow smoothly. Character arcs, particularly among the main cast, are paced as meticulously as the plot. The reformed bully trope is not new to the genre, but the places Brianna goes and the paces she is put through do lend this book an authentic feel with its own unique voice." --The BookLife Prize
