Meant To Be Mine - Hannah Orenstein

Book Synopsis: From the author of Playing with Matches, a sweeping love story in the vein of Rebecca Serle and Chloe Benjamin about a woman who knows the date she’ll meet her true love—only he isn’t quite as perfect as she always imagined.

What if you knew exactly when you’d meet the love of your life? Edie Meyer knows. When her Grandma Gloria was a young woman, she had a vision of the exact day she would meet her soul mate—and then Grandpa Ray showed up.

Since then, Gloria has accurately predicted the day every single member of the family has met their match. Edie’s day arrives on June 24, 2022, when she’s twenty-nine years old. She has been waiting for it half her life. That morning, she boards an airplane to her twin sister’s surprise engagement, and when a handsome musician sits beside her, she knows it’s meant to be.

But fate comes with more complications than Edie expected and she can’t fight the nagging suspicion that her perfect guy doesn’t have perfect timing. After a tragedy and a shocking revelation rock Edie’s carefully constructed world, she’s forced to consider whether love chooses us, as simple as destiny, or if we choose it ourselves.

Where to begin... this book had a fun and interesting concept. It just wasn't meant to be for me, I think that I went into this book having too much expectations. I thought it would be funny, hopeful, and become one of my new favorite books of this year, but sadly that was not the case.

The author's writing style is just not my cup of tea. I prefer to read romance books, but this one was not it. It was so built up to be a great book, but fell very flat and short. I did not like Edie and I thought that while the concept of this book was a bit clever, I cannot in my good conscious recommend this book to anyone that I know.

This book is already published and out into the world. If you would like to read a copy, I suggest borrowing it from your library.
