Waiting on Wednesday: Meant to Be


Waiting On Wednesday #12! 
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill
Expected Publication: Nov. 13, 2012

Synopsis:
Meant to be or not meant to be . . . that is the question. 

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.

Because sometimes the things you least expect are the most meant to be.

My Thoughts:
I thought this movie was completely adorable! Surprisingly I haven't read the book, but I do have a lot of Dr. Seuss books. And honestly, I didn't know the story of The Lorax, but it was really cute. I think even adults would love this movie, because I did. I got it because of my son, and I thought he would want to watch it, but I ended up watching it by myself while he was at school one day. He said "awww mom, I wanted to watch it!" So it looks like I'll be watching it again.

I haven't seen the other recent Dr. Seuss movies. Like Horton Hears a Who or The Cat in the Hat, but that's on my never ending list. I did like How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Just because it was Dr. Seuss I knew it would be good, because you can't mess up Dr. Seuss' stories! They're too good for that. So I say watch it!
