Fall in Love Every Day "I don't even know where to start. This book made me cry, it was so good." -- Sandra "This, my dears, it's a real piece of art!" -- Ari "WOW WOW. MIND = BLOWN." -- Sab H. (YA Bliss) Every day A wakes up in a different body, in a different life. There 's never any warning about where it will be or who it will be.

It 's all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply.

Meant to be or not meant to be . . . that is the question. "If you're into swoony romances with a little bit of history thrown in, you'll love Meant to Be." -- HelloGiggles.com "Fun, fresh and irresistibly romantic. STB (SURE to be) loved!" -- Sarah Mlynowski "Readers of Jennifer E. Smith and Stephanie Perkins will revel in this debate about love ruled by the stars or as a matter of the heart." -- Shelf Awareness It's one thing to fall head over heels into a puddle of hazelnut coffee, and quite another to fall for the--gasp--wrong guy. Straight-A junior Julia may be accident prone, but she's queen of following rules and being prepared. That's why she keeps a pencil sharpener in her purse and a pocket Shakespeare in her, well, pocket. And that's also why she's chosen Mark Bixford, her childhood crush, as her MTB ("meant to be"). But this spring break, Julia's rules are about to get defenestrated (SAT word: to be thrown from a window) when she's partnered with her personal nemesis, class-clown Jason, on a school trip to London. After one wild party, Julia starts receiving romantic texts . . . from an unknown number! Jason promises to help discover the identity of her mysterious new suitor if she agrees to break a few rules along the way. And thus begins a wild goose chase through London, leading Julia closer and closer to the biggest surprise of all: true love. Read an Excerpt Buy the Book

A new boyfriend is the quickest way to recover from losing the old one. "A compulsive and memorable reading experience." -- Roger "One that I wish I had read before I had my heart broken for the first time " -- Chelsey "Wish I could've read it before I started college." -- Miranda After everything that happened--first boyfriend, first time, first breakup--jumping back into the dating game seemed like the least healthy thing eighteen-year-old Dominique could do. It 's not that she didn 't want to fall in love again, but as a busy college premed still raw from heartbreak, she figured she 'd lie low for a while. Of course, as soon as she stopped looking for someone, an impossibly amazing--and devastatingly cute--guy came along. It was thrilling. It was hot. It was just what the doctor ordered.
