Book Watch: Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill.

Posted May 11, 2012 by Rowena in Promotions | 4 Comments

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.

Unexpected surprises are always a treat, aren’t they? What surprised me about this book is that it wasn’t the cover that caught my eye (that’s what usually catches my eye and attention first) but the title. I’m a romantic at heart so I’m always up for a romantic read. This sounds like a good story and I’m totally going to read it.

This book comes out on my birthday, November 13th so I’m pretty excited to turn *gasp* 32. I’m hopeful that this will be a good one. Mark your calendar lovely readers!

..and that’s your scoop!
