Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill
5.0
/ebook
The book is about a high school girl, Julia, who is A LITTLE OBSESSED with the "fantasy" of soul mates, or MEANT TO BE as she calls it. Their class goes on a trip, and she is paired up with her obnoxious classmate, Jason, as her buddy. Go figure what happens during the trip. Hahahaha!
I like how LM is stoked about London. (Or how LM created Julia's character who more or less "worships" London.) I especially enjoyed her statement, Screw Paris; London is the city for me. It made me want to go there all the more! (Well, Paris is never really on my top Europe places to visit.) I have to say, after reading this book, it'd be really hard to not want to visit London!
I also like the author being a fan of The Beatles. Don't shoot me. I'm a boyband-baby! (I've only watched two concerts -- Backstreet Boys and Jason Mraz.) And since ALMOST no one could go wrong with the Classics, I decided to listen to some of the Beatles songs mentioned on the books, and I LOVE it. Beat is old school (what can we expect from it?), and BSB is still above the Beatles for me. But what the hell, music is love.
This is categorized as a Young Adult read. Unless you don't mind cutesy, high school antics, I doubt you'd enjoy this. It's not very predictable, although the conflict of the story is pretty simple. It's pretty funny, and I did took note a quite of 'em.
This is LM's first book, and I'm satisfied enough with it that I'll most likely read her next ones. : )

"You are a jerk," I say to him in a low voice as soon as Mrs. T is out of hearing range.
"You started it," he replies, shrugging as he attempts to de-wrinkle his gray polo.
"What are you, five?"
"We're in London. Everything's special."
It's only now, as I look at the image on the back of my digital camera, that I see why he was laughing.
He's holding bunny ears over my head.
Seriously? Is he five?
When I'm underwater, the world is literally muted, and I'm left only to my own head.
"Do something even if it's not the magical, wonderful thing you had in mind. Don't sit around for one more second pining away for some fantasy that might never come along, because it might not even exist."
Let him break the rules, and I'll trail behind, reaping the reward, hopefully in the form of awesome European smooching - or snogging, as the Brits would say.
"We're headed to Notting Hill," Mrs. Tennison replies, constantly counting and recounting our group as we make our way up the street.
"Like in the movie?" Sarah squeals.
"What movie?" Mrs. Tennison asks, and Sarah just stares at her, mouth gaping.
I can’t believe this is happening to me. How did this become my life?
I actually have more quotes. In total, 54. Hahahaha! Read up!
