Hannah Orenstein

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.

Hannah Orenstein never misses! I adored this sweet & complex love story. Based in NYC, it works through fate, family, grief & what happens when you put your happiness first ❤️

Meant to Be Mine is the perfect city girl romance. It made me miss pre-pandemic summers in New York, and a very specific part of dating in the city. That wandering around freely, going into bars, plans that don’t require so much planning, that weekend without obligations energy. 
Edie’s grandmother Gloria has a family tradition in which she predicts the soulmate for everyone in their family. So when Edie’s time is up, she meets a musician named Theo, who is nothing like what she expected. Edie has to ask herself who she is and what she wants.
This book is so sad, sweet, romantic, hopeful. I enjoyed spending a few days in this much more pleasant world. I tried to take my time with this book, and I could not, it is such a gripping read, and I only wish I had Gloria’s book to read next!
Thanks to Atria and NetGalley for the ARC!
