Rules for Hearts

Battle Hall Davies is sure of some things: She's going to Reed this fall; she loves girls; and her older brother Nick outshines her. He ran away four and a half years ago; now he's tracked her down and she's spending the summer at Forest House where he lives in Portland. It is a summer of surprises. Battle is swept into Forest House's community Shakespeare production their all-night card games and the arms of her new housemate Meryl. As the weeks pass Battle realizes that Nick isn't who she thought he was - and she isn't who she thought she was either.
