I absolutely adored this book. It was a super cute contemporary love story - Loved the characters, loved the writing, loved how everything unfolded. Even a couple twists in there! 
 Julia was a great MC. She was nerdy but in a funny/relatable way and so much fun to read about. I loved her love/hate relationship with Jason and how that circled around several times to become an incredibly cute relationship. I mean, it's high school - Sometimes that's how it works out. 
 Lauren Morrill's writing was an absolute delight to read too! She manages to capture each emotion and really made me connect with the characters. I look forward to reading anything else she writes! Brilliant debut. 
 Full review originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: I absolutely, positively adored this book. This was the perfect contemporary romance and just what I needed - a nice breath of fresh air after being slightly disappointed in my last couple of reads. Lauren Morrill's writing was fresh, fun, and real. I always get a bit worried whenever I read books that are set in places that are so foreign to me - I've never been across the pond to London (or off the continent of North America for that matter) - so I was a tiny bit hesitant that I would be overwhelmed with all of the unknowns that London would hold for our story. Upon reading, I found that it wasn't the case at all. Morrill did a fantastic job of making me feel like I was on my very own vacation with the characters. Everything was beautifully described and I didn't feel lost in a foreign country at all. Julia was a fantastic main character for me to read about. I absolutely love any character that has an utterly nerdy side because, well, I can relate! I may not have been as intensely organized as Julia, but if there was ever a nickname for me at this very moment in time, "Book Licker" could definitely be it! What I loved the most about Julia is that she not only has a life changing experience just by being over in London, but she also transforms as a person. She learns a lot about herself by breaking the rules (many, many rules) and by figuring out how to deal with her assigned buddy and current nemesis Jason. Jason was also another interesting character for me. We start off by seeing exactly how Jason and Julia conflicted with each other. Julia saw him as nothing but immature and a bully. He teases her, initiates rumors, even goes as far as sticking gum in her hair and calling her "Book Licker". As the story goes on, we see that there's so much more to Jason than people's first impressions, especially Julia's. The relationship that begins to develop between Jason and Julia once they're forced together is a roller coaster of emotions that makes us wonder how they'll end up once the London trip is over. I also really love the "meant to be" story line. So many times I've felt the same way as Julia - there's someone out there for each one of us, a "one and only", and I really do believe that where you end up in the end is where you're supposed to be. What I really loved about this book is the message that Fate can only take you so far and you have to take control of your own destiny. You have to be active in your own life and you can't just sit back and expect the world to happen around you. What I really loved is that we see Julia idolizing her parents' MTB relationship and she expects it to happen for her. In the end, we see her come around to reality a little bit and realize that although that does happen for some people, not everyone can have this incredible, coincidental, perfect love story. Sometimes things don't happen the way you expect and that really turns out to be your MTB situation. Although the final message almost appeared to be that there is no such thing as "meant to be" for everyone, what I like to take from it is that "meant to be" can happen for everyone, but it's just not always what you expect it to be and not always what you're looking for.
