Why? This sounds like such FUN, completely cute and a short yet sweet, engaging read! Look out November!
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.

Why? This looks SO good! Time travel, adventure, romance – what more could you want!?
Anna and Bennett were never supposed to meet: she lives in 1995 Chicago and he lives in 2012 San Francisco. But Bennett’s unique ability to travel through time and space brings him into Anna’s life, and with him, a new world of adventure and possibility.
As their relationship deepens, they face the reality that time might knock Bennett back where he belongs, even as a devastating crisis throws everything they believe into question. Against a ticking clock, Anna and Bennett are forced to ask themselves how far they can push the bounds of fate—and what consequences they can bear in order to stay together.
Fresh, exciting, and deeply romantic, TIME BETWEEN US is a stunning and spellbinding debut from an extraordinary new talent in YA fiction.
What
are you waiting on this Wednesday?
I have hopes for Time Between Us. For now I'm not sure about Meant To Be. It sounds too cutesy, too happy and "young" for what I want right now. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these sound SO cute! Meant To Beeeee <3
ReplyDeleteAnd is it just me, or does the girl on the cover of Time Between Us look like Blair from Gossip Girl?
Both of these sound amazing. Meant To Be sounds cute and maybe a little funny. Time Between Us sounds romantic but maybe a little sad. Reminds me of the Time Traveller's Wife.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices!
I AGREE! I really want to read Meant to Be, it looks ADORABLE and people have said good things about it. Time Between Us looks really great too, time travel and romance!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
