Summary (from Simon & Schuster Canada):

When all signs point to heartbreak, can love still be a rule of the road? A poignant and romantic novel from the author of Bittersweet and Twenty Boy Summer.

Jude has learned a lot from her older sisters, but the most important thing is this: The Vargas brothers are notorious heartbreakers. She’s seen the tears and disasters that dating a Vargas boy can cause, and she swore an oath—with candles and a contract and everything—to never have anything to do with one.

Now Jude is the only sister still living at home, and she’s spending the summer helping her ailing father restore his vintage motorcycle—which means hiring a mechanic to help out. Is it Jude’s fault he happens to be cute? And surprisingly sweet? And a Vargas?

Jude tells herself it’s strictly bike business with Emilio. Her sisters will never find out, and Jude can spot those flirty little Vargas tricks a mile away—no way would she fall for them. But Jude’s defenses are crumbling, and if history is destined to repeat itself, she’s speeding toward some serious heartbreak…unless her sisters were wrong?

Jude may have taken an oath, but she’s beginning to think that when it comes to love, some promises might be worth breaking.

If you're a fan of YA contemporary novels and you still haven't read a novel by Sarah Ockler, then you are truly missing out! Her books have their fun and cute moments, but at the heart of their coming-of-age stories, they focus on a female protagonist who is struggling in some way. I have a feeling Emilio will leave me swooning once I read the book (how will Jude be able to resist his charm?), and I'm sure curious to hear more about his heartbreaker brothers. I'm so glad there's only a few more months of waiting until I can finally read The Book of Broken Hearts!
