The Meet-Cute Project by Rhiannon Richardson
4.0
4/5 stars
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Mia has her hands full--it's her junior year of high school, she's in the math club, she's on the swim team, and she's an excellent student. Not to mention she's been helping her sister, Sam, prepare for her wedding. Sam is a little obsessed with making everything perfect and has been relying on Mia a lot. However, she catches Mia off-guard when she forces Mia to bring a date to the wedding. Looking for a date is the last thing Mia wants to do; she doesn't have much free time and her options are limited. Her friends decide Mia needs a meet-cute like in rom-coms. They take turns setting her up for these meet-cutes and all kinds of chaos ensues.
This was such a cute YA romance story! Mia was a relatable main character--overwhelmed high school student struggling to deal with life and find a date. As cute as this story was, there were also some deep moments. I really appreciated how this book wasn't one of those cheesy YA insta-love stories where the MC lives a perfect life. Mia's struggles and relationships with friends and family were realistic and really added to the story. Also, I loved the whole concept that love cannot be forced which Mia has to learn the hard way.
The ending was a bit lacking in my opinion. I wanted a bit more closure, but that's just me. In the end, this story was cute and fun, but it also had deep moments. I'd definitely recommend this book to fans of YA rom-coms!
