Dear Bookworms,
Last week, I read this book and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since then.
"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 maybe be accident prone, but she is queen of following rules and being prepared. That is why she keeps her 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 out of a window) when she's partnered with her personal nemesis, class-clown Jason, on a school trip to London.
What I thought about this book
I know that is sounds quite stupid, but one of the things I've liked most of this book is that Julia loves books. It just made me have a small connection with her when I was reading and that made me understand some of her strange reactions. In this book there's romance, sightseeing and delicious flirting, laughter, a little bit of sadness and some surprising plot twists to liven the story up. I know that you think you know how the book ends, but the fact is that you have NO IDEA, the end is so unexpected and so beautiful that makes you feel butterflies in your belly. I can't help but compare this book to Stephanie Perkins's , like Anna and The French Kiss or Lola and The Boy Next Door, and they are quite similar and so different and the same time, but if you loved her books, you will love this one.
