Meant To Be by Lauren Morrill

A girl with it all planned out discovers a romance she never expected in this funny debut about a class trip to London that HelloGiggles.com says you’ll love “if you’re into swoony romances with a little bit of history thrown in.” 

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.

How can I say what I think about this book?

Ok that pretty much suffices, though It’s a bit short on curse words… but if I write them all down this will turn into a ten pages review and I want to get “Meant to be” out of my system as soon as possible.


You guys know, I usually try to find a redeeming quality in all books. If somebody put the effort to write down their ideas; and let’s face it, writing a book, revising it, re-writing it again, editing and all that jazz is no easy task, I want to see the whatever little piece of goodness there is in the written word.

I have no fucks to give with this one, guys. It was terrible.

I wasn’t really expecting much besides a fun and fluffy romance between two “enemies” in the wonderful London!... And I got stuck with this.

I’m going to make it short and say, right now, why I hate it so much.

-     -The MC sucked balls. She was an awful person, not only was everybody inferior to her in one way or another, she was also dumb, shallow and a hypocrite. She judged people who read from a Kindle rather than a paperback because that “Wasn’t really reading” are you fucking serious?
-          
-      -The Love Interest was a childish asshole. Not only does he spends the entire trip humiliating our MC to the point of almost crying (Hell, I would have cried too, after I had strangled him.) He also tries to take her clothes without her consent and laughs it off as her being “too much of a prude”, tricks her into going to a party and leaves her all alone in a club after she’s completely drunk and strange dudes start swarming around her. Fuck him.

              -Every girl is portrayed as dumb as fuck, all to make our MC all the more smart! Wohooooo!
-          
-     -No plot, nothing happens.

-          -Zero research into London, and it’s freaking London!


-         - It was freaking horrible.

    1. Lol, I'm the same! What happens when you do, do you usually like them? For me it depends, sometimes I see things in the review that make me wonder if we read the same book, others i regret deciding to read the book in the first place hahahh
