We Can't Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon
4.0
Strong-willed, quick-wit female character with a penchant for dresses with animal patterns and a childhood friend turned hot? Interested.
Realistic OCD and depression representation? Calling my heart.
Mentions of allergies within the first chapter and people reacting to them properly instead of saying "that's so weird"? Yes, you got me.
A girl who feels she has no say and no voice finding a way to show up for HERSELF? I'M ALL IN.
While I can't speak to the Jewish or Muslim representation* and other readers' concerns around it (completely valid), I thoroughly enjoyed the plot and the fast-paced inner monologues.
I walked away from this book with a deep need to go visit Seattle. But the silliest coincidence about reading this one, is that I had just left my best friend's wedding, no? I was sitting at an airport flipping through book recommendations and the title alone seemed to be calling my name. Imagine my surprise when I find out weddings take such a big role in this novel! Fate? I think so – Quinn may not agree but Tarek would find this statement romantic.
