4.5/5-I read head over heels by this author last month and really enjoyed it. Decided to give this one a go and was hesitant based on some reviews, but it was so good! A very cute romance. Would have loved for there to been an epilogue to close up the end a little better but overall highly recommend

Delightfully cheesy fluff. I was just browsing looking for an easy read to take my mind off things and this was absolutely perfect for that!

Needed this cute romance to boost my mood and it did not disappoint! The story line was honestly awesome and while some of it was a bit predictable, I really didn’t mind.

Good story, predictable of part of the ending at some point but still a really good smile from me with the ending of it. Really liked the writing style of this author. Looking forward to more books from her.

Edie Meyers has known for the last 13 years that she’ll meet her soulmate on June 24, 2022. Her grandmother, Gloria, predicts with seemingly perfect accuracy when each person in her family will meet their match. But when the man she meets on June 24 isn’t quite as perfect for her as she always imagined, Edie is forced to consider whether love finds us or vice versa.

While I absolutely loved the ending and overall message of the story, parts of MTBM were hard to read. Edie spends a lot of time and energy convincing herself that she’s happy in her relationship - it’s hard to watch someone continue to make decisions that cause them pain! However, Edie’s internal tension takes up the perfect amount of real estate in the story so it doesn’t become an emotional drain on the reader but still feels like a realistic conflict in Edie’s life. Watching Edie work through her feelings and make a brave choice is so rewarding!

Another thing I really enjoyed about MTBM: I had no idea how it would end! It’s so rare to get a true “will they / won’t they” in a romance novel! The story could have ended 3-4 different ways, but I found the ending satisfying and worth the drama of Edie’s struggle.

This charming story comes out June 7 - don’t miss it!

Thanks to Atria and NetGalley the gifted copy. Opinions are my own!
