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.
******
I enjoyed reading about Edie’s life and seeing her interactions with her family, especially her grandmother. Her grandmother can predict the exact date her family members will meet their “soulmate”. So far she has never been wrong. Talk about an interesting gift to have.
This was a unique take on pretty typical romance story…I liked Edie’s character and seeing her growth and journey throughout the book. She is smart, fun, and driven. I could feel Edie’s excitement and nervousness as she scans the crowd looking for her special person. I mean who wouldn’t be excited if they knew the actual date they would meet the person they were supposed to spend their life with??
Meant to be Mine is a fun and quirky story about finding “the one” and Edie’s journey to finding her happy ending.
The story overall was good and entertaining. It was a little slow and seemed to drag at times, but I had to keep reading to find out how things would end. There was a surprising twist in the story that added to the entertainment factor.
RATING: 3 OUT OF 5.
