The book was an easy read. It’s been awhile since I’ve read one Meg Cabot’s books. It was not a disappointing plot. But there could have been more parts fleshed out more especially by the end. The romance between the two characters seemed a bit too rushed. I think some of the earlier flashbacks could have been cut down more to allow more develop with Jessica and Derrick’s relationship in the present. I enjoyed the side characters, they seem to liven up certain parts in the book. Otherwise, I get the sense this could the be the beginning of series focusing on West Harbor and different characters in the town since there was such emphasis on so much of the supporting cast. I would be interested in picking up a sequel since the universe is established more, it could have some time to breathe and allow more exploration of the characters and their books. *As an aside, the audiobook is great for any audio listeners.

Meg Cabot never fails to disappoint and Enchanted to meet you was no exception. It is a delightful rom-com set in a sleepy New England town that isn’t quite so sleepy at the moment. West Harbor experiences a catastrophic event every 90 years or so and the next one is overdue. Luckily, there is a prophecy about the Chosen One and the Bringer of Light who can avert the coming tragedy.

Derrick has done the research and detained that Jess is the Chosen One. Now he just has to get her on board with training the Bringer of Light so they can be ready. But what if the magic Jess feels when Derrick is around isn’t magic but something even more powerful?

I loved the ride or die friendship between Jess and Dina. It was so much fun to get glimpses of them in the flashbacks and to see that though they had grown up, somethings never really change.

I’m not always a fan of insta-love, but it was done well here. And with a twist that I don’t want to spoil!

I also enjoyed flashbacks but was disappointed when they stopped. Their disappearance was what kept me from giving this 5 stars. One or two more would have really tied everything together.

Overall, this is the perfect fall read. I highly recommend.

Thank you to Avon, Harper Voyager, and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

The romance was okay, the plot around saving the town was disappointing. There was a lot of build up and no real action, they wrapped it up in a page or two after building up to this battle?
