Meant to Be | Lauren Morrill
8 posts | 21 read | 8 to read
A girl with it all planned out discovers a romance she never expected in this funny debut about a class trip to London that HelloGiggles.com says you’ll love “if you’re into swoony romances with a little bit of history thrown in.” This spring break, Julia's rules are about to get defenestrated (SAT word: to be thrown from a window) when she's partnered with her personal nemesis, class-clown Jason, on a school trip to London. After one wild party, Julia starts receiving romantic texts . . . from an unknown number! Jason promises to help discover the identity of her mysterious new suitor if she agrees to break a few rules along the way. And thus begins a wild goose chase through London, leading Julia closer and closer to the biggest surprise of all: true love. Because sometimes the things you least expect are the most meant to be.***"Readers of Jennifer E. Smith and Stephanie Perkins will revel in this debate about love ruled by the stars or as a matter of the heart." --Shelf Awareness  "Fun, fresh and irresistibly romantic. STB (SURE to be) loved!" --Sarah Mlynowski“Star-crossed characters, hilarious dialogue, and a perfect London setting. I loved Meant to Be!” –Robin Benway, author of Emmy & OliverFrom the Hardcover edition.

I received an advanced readers copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I enjoyed this one. It was a cute, fun read. It was predictable, yes. But I didn‘t mind that. I thought Lauren had a good effortless writing style.

Major Strengths
-writing style, nerdy main character, character development
Major Weaknesses: didn‘t always love Jason‘s antics

Occasional strong language, drinking, some tame sexual content. for older teens.

The first YA contemp I ever read and still a favorite! Julia is relatable and the book is cute & funny, with bantery romance, comic misunderstandings, & a London setting. Plus that gorgeous cover!
