We Can't Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon

4.0

I'm a huge fan of wedding planner romances and this one just checked so many of my boxes! Yes, it's a young adult story, but it was surprisingly mature for the genre. Set in the summer after her senior year of high school, this story highlights Quinn's role in her family's wedding planner business - and her wish to NOT be in that role. There were tons of wedding stories included in the book, which I just ate up. I absolutely loved the mental health representation (OCD and depression) and really appreciated the deep inclusion of the Jewish faith woven in throughout the story. Another reviewer mentioned something that I also noticed, however, and that's the token and stereotypical representation of Tarek's Muslim faith, so please do just keep that in mind. Another aspect of the story that really stood out for me is that Quinn is a harp player and that factored strongly in the story ~ so unique, and I loved getting a glimpse into a new world of music. I highly recommend this story to lovers of YA romance.

Librarian note: While this is a young adult novel, all of the characters have graduated or are already in college and it does include many mentions of sex (and sex on the page) and includes several instances of teens drinking ~ definitely one for high school rather than middle school collections.
