This week, I am
waiting on Meant to Be by Lauren
Morrill (11/13/12):
Description on GoodReads:
“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.”

The cover is so what first got my attention. It’s unique,
yet also familiar. Also, there’s London in the background, and I absolutely
love London. The colors just make the cover so gorgeous. And then of course I
read the description, and what’s not too like about a wild goose chase around
London and the promise of true love? I’ve also already read some good reviews
for this one and I don’t have too long to wait (just till November).
This book sounds really cute and a fun contemporary. Thanks for sharing!
