Meant to BeBy Lauren Morrill
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary
Personal Rating: 7/10
A class trip to London is a dream come true for list making, organized Julia, until she gets partnered with Jason, class clown and her personal nemesis. But once Julia starts receiving mysterious text messages from an unknown number, Jason promises to help her find the mystery suitor. The two are led on a wild goose chase all around London, breaking rules and encountering things Julia never imagined when she was carefully planning out this trip. But neither her mysterious suitor or Jason turn out to be what she has expected.
This was a very cute, very funny book. It definitely had a Stephanie Perkins feel to it, so I think fans of her books would really enjoy this one. I honestly loved the characters in this book and the hilarious inner voice of the narrator, it was very entertaining. The descriptions of London as the students go on their tour was incredible, I felt like I was there. My only real complaint about this book is the language--including one F-word and a handful of mild swears--and the couple of scenes that include underage drinking. There wasn't anything sexually explicit in this book, aside from a dirty joke or two. And while the plot-line was funny entertaining, the twist wasn't really a surprise to me, I knew what was going to happen for most of the novel.
