Meant
to be is Lauren Morrill’s debut and the first book I’ve read by her. I would say
it was a fast enjoyable read, but very predictable. It felt a lot like an ABC
Family or Disney Channel movie. Which I say without judgment, because there is
an audience and time for those movies.
The
setting is great. We got glimpses of London and other areas in England. I
enjoyed being somewhere other than New York City or generic small town like so
many other YA books.
Julia,
the main character was OK and kind of forgettable. Although her klutziness was
almost too much. Jason, the guy, didn’t make sense to me. He said and did some
things I just don’t understand. But that is the drawback of first person. Dual
perspective may have fixed these problems.
The
romance was the same way: kind of forgettable. Some things were rushed and not
developed as well as they could have been. But I did enjoy myself while reading
it.
I
would recommend this if you are looking for a quick light contemporary. I
enjoyed it enough that I will check out Lauren Morrill’s other/future books but
not right away.
~Thanks for reading!
