Start Here: The Running on Love and Donuts Reading Order
If you're new to the Running on Love and Donuts series by Chrissy Q Martin, welcome! Five teenagers, four grandmothers, and a whole lot of donut-fueled chaos make these sweet YA romantic comedies a fun ride. Here's the order to read them in so you can follow the Donut Club from the beginning.

The Official Reading Order
- Rebel with a Donut – Start here! Four grandmothers bring their five teenage grandchildren together for three summer weeks in a retirement community. Expect unexpected friendships, self-discovery, and plenty of donuts.
- Rebel with a Boyfriend – Follow Emma and Tyler as Emma navigates having a boyfriend during her senior year, with the Donut Club along for the laughs and surprises.
- Rebel on a Break – A fake breakup, spring break adventures, and trouble within the Donut Club put Emma and Tyler's relationship to the test.
- Rebel on a Holiday – Travel through Ireland with Chelsey and the four Donut Club grandmothers for a heartwarming summer romance. This fourth book follows the first three, but it can also be read as a standalone.
Can You Read Them Out of Order?
For the best introduction to the Donut Club, begin with Rebel with a Donut and follow the books in order. If the Ireland adventure catches your eye first, Rebel on a Holiday can be read on its own.
Who Can Read These Books?
These YA romantic comedies are enjoyed by teens and adults alike. If you like found family, sassy grandmothers, lots of laughs, and no-spice romance with nothing explicit, pull up a chair and pick your favorite donut.
