I read the book The Daughters Break the Rules by Joann Philbin. This is the 2ND book of the series, The Daughters. This book is told from Carina Jurgenson’s point of view. Carina who’s dad is million-air Karl Jurgenson. Carina has unlimited use of credit cards, and is able to do anything that pleases her. Until, her dad cuts her off and she goes from spendin over 1,000 dollars a week to only $20. Her new fab updated phone is now an old ancient dinosaur. Her relationship with her father has never been too friendly. Suddenly he’s forcing Carina to grow up fast, too fast. Carina of course does not agree with her dad and gives him the silent treatment. But after awhile Carina gets asked to go on a Ski trip with a boy named Carter. It would only cost 1,000 dollars. Carina doesn’t dare ask her dad. Instead she tries and earn the money herself, by helping Ava who is know to be the biggest brat at her school, plan her Snowflake ball party. With absolutely no money or experiences in planning parties she tells a little lie to Ava. But will that lie just keep growing and growing? Ava agreed to pay $1,000 to Carina if she can get the job done right, the way Ava wants it. Carina meets knew people during her job experience that hep her plan the party. They maybe no be the rich and well-known music or decor, but Carina thinks the will get the job done! Will Carina be able to get the job done? Will her planning the party lose her friendship with her two best friends, Hudson and Lizzie? What about her Dad and her relationship with him and her long lost mother? Read the book to find out!
The thing I like most about this book is Carina’s father and her relationship between one another. Although things may seem horrible between them but you know thing will start to get better once he cuts her off.

Hi my name is Lucy Mulert, and I read the book The Daughters Break the Rules by Joanna Philbin. This book is about three girls. Lizzie Summers, Hudson Jones, and Carina Juregensen, who is the main character is this book. After leaking out a rumor that her billionaire father stole from his charity, Carina is in big trouble. Her dad decides to teach her a lesson the hard way. Carina’s father cuts her off, while Carina has plans for a ski trip in Switzerland, with no way to pay for the expenses. To earn the money she needs, Carina lies her way into becoming the party planner for the Silver Snowflake Ball, but this job is not as easy as it seems. Everyone expects her to have the best connections because of her father, but things don’t always work out. She is faced with the choice between lying to her friends and family, or still being the billionaire’s rich daughter who has everything she could ever need. This thrilling novel shows how lying will get you in trouble, and that you have to make up for your mistakes no matter what.
This book is for Young Adults, and people will enjoy the amazing novel with the twists and turns of Carina’s party planning job that lands her in a mess she has to fix, before everything goes wrong. My favorite quote from the book is ‘Carina followed Lizzie as the they elbowed past the tech guys and roadies. I’m sorry Hudson, she thought. I had no idea. I’m so sorry. And as she set off toward the stage, Carina wondered if Hudson’s career might have just ended before it even started.
There were many great reviews on the book The Daughters Break the Rules.

Joanna’s book captures the reader, and you don’t want to put down the book until you finish it! This is a great book, and many people will enjoy this well- written book.
