Julie Halpern

In a world where the name of one's "meant to be" mate appears on one's chest at age eighteen, Aggy must decide whether to trust the phenomenon or follow her heart.

Meant to Be

What if your soul mate was decided for you? It started happening a few years ago: the names of MTBs—“meant to be” mates—appeared emblazoned on the skin at age eighteen. Agatha’s best friend has embraced the phenomenon and is head over heels in love with her MTB. But Aggy isn’t so sure. As she struggles with accepting her MTB fate, she finds herself falling for a coworker at the local amusement park. Is he a better match? What does Agatha really want in a mate, and moreover, what does she want for herself? With her trademark wit and irreverence, acclaimed author Julie Halpern explores an age-old question: Who are we meant to be with?

Sofie

This book was meh. I liked Aggy’s wit but found her to be crass. It felt like the author was trying to be ~real~ with her writing, which apparently means describing, ahem, farts and poops and periods, but there’s a difference between mentioning these things in passing and dedicating actual paragraphs, in detail, to them. 

The end was anti-climactic. I didn’t like Luke at all. And we never learn anything about the actual MTB origin. 

Ugh.
