(Summary from Goodreads). Meant to be or not meant to be . . . that is the question.
It's one thing to fall head over heels into a puddle of hazelnut coffee, and quite another to fall for the—gasp—wrong guy. Straight-A junior Julia may be accident prone, but she's queen of following rules and being prepared. That's why she keeps a pencil sharpener in her purse and a pocket Shakespeare in her, well, pocket. And that's also why she's chosen Mark Bixford, her childhood crush, as her MTB ("meant to be").
But 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.
I really liked how this book was paced. It was very fun and easy to read. The characters were likable. I would really like to know more about Jason and Julia! I want to know more about their story. I really connected with Julia. I love how connected she was with her books and what she was passionate about. It is really refreshing to read.
I love the setting of this book… It really made me want to travel back to Europe! I felt for Julia though. I know what it is like to be not liked by others on a trip that should be the trip of a lifetime.
I was kind of getting the feeling that Jason was hiding something with the phones. I honestly thought that HE was Chris… Hahahha. But the ending was really surprising. I liked how it played out. It was interesting that Jason wanted something to happen between him and Julia after being so rude and mean to her… BUT things happen for a reason.
This book was a fun read. I feel like there was a lot of detail about some parts of the story, but some left out from others. I liked it enough to want to read it again though.
4.5 out of five stars.
