Meant to Be #5

Worth Fighting For

Number 5 in the “Meant To Be Series” is a modern take on Mulan. Each one of these books has been wonderful, but I have to say, this might be my new favorite! Firstly, clever take putting Mulan in a career surrounded by finance dude bros that she’s constantly trying to out bro. That would have been enough of a field to flesh out the story, but throwing in Shang’s family distillery and their completely outdated strategy of only marketing their whiskey to “real manly men” was brilliant! On the topic of Shang- the banter is amazing and their chemistry is snappy. Making Mushu her fast talking cousin was also a stroke of genius. The whole story gelled really well and the little nods to the Disney story that were sprinkled throughout were 

 Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this story!

Easy read. A bit predictable throughout. Shang was kind of too good. Like in Mulan the film, he can be a bit of an asshole at times so it was disappointing to have him so PERFECT. I did love the ending though.
