All of them are theater-obsessed to one degree or another. Nick lives with a bohemian group with confusing attractions and relationships (some of which involve him). There is a lot going on in Rules events push Battle towards epiphanies she has no interest in making. She thinks she is off on an adventure to reconnect with her sibling but really, she has no idea what awaits her. Battle gets accepted to college in the city and permission from her parents to head out west early. They have connected online and he invites her to stay in a house where he rents a room in Portland, Oregon. Battle is looking for her older brother Nick, who left home years before and has been largely absent from her life ever since. The attraction for her is not romance, but a more powerful love. Very quickly it becomes clear that Battle has lied to her parents and is meeting someone, although not who you would think for a teenage girl. Billed as a "family drama," Sara Ryan's The Rules for Hearts seems at first to be a coming-of-age story about high school graduate Battle, who sets off on her own to the big city the summer before starting college.
