From the author of the “funny, sexy, and absurdly entertaining” (Marie Claire) 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.

A Novel

Meant to Be Mine

Her name is Rae and he calls her his rae of sunshine?! I love this nickname so much!!

Sophia

"You make every single day an adventure. I want to have adventures with you for the rest of my lives. I love you. Rachel Amelia Meyer, my Rae of sunshine, will you marry me?"

My grandparents are all still alive and I'm gonna start filming videos to capture their voices because as of now I only have photos of them :/

"I couldn't leave a message - your voicemail box is still full."

That's because I've saved every one of her recordings. I'm afraid that one day, I won't get to hear her calling me dollface or bubbeleh. She won't recommend the best brand of nylons (I don't wear them) or invite me to join her for a manicure.
