"These Are the Rules" by Paul Many follows the story of a high school student, Jake, who navigates the complexities of adolescence, family expectations, and personal identity. Set against the backdrop of a small-town community, Jake faces the pressures of conforming to societal norms while grappling with his own values and desires. As he interacts with friends, teachers, and his own family members, Jake begins to understand that the rules governing his life are often subjective. This coming-of-age tale explores themes of individuality, acceptance, and the quest for authenticity in a world filled with constraints. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
