Review of We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This

I’ve always enjoyed YA books that feature weddings, so what did I think of this YA contemporary about two teens whose families work in the wedding business? Check out my review of We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This

What is We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This About?

We Can't Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon

We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon. Published on June 8, 2021 by Simon & Schuster. Thanks to the publisher for providing an advance copy for review.

Synopsis: Quinn Berkowitz and Tarek Mansour’s families have been in business together for years: Quinn’s parents are wedding planners, and Tarek’s own a catering company. At the end of last summer, Quinn confessed her crush on Tarek in the form of a rambling email—and then he left for college without a response. When Tarek shows up at the first wedding of the summer, they clash immediately. Tarek’s always loved the grand gestures in weddings—the flashier, the better—while Quinn can’t see them as anything but fake. Quinn can’t deny her feelings for him are still there, especially after she learns the truth about his silence, opens up about her own fears, and begins learning the art of harp-making from an enigmatic teacher. Maybe love isn’t the enemy after all—and maybe allowing herself to fall is the most honest thing Quinn’s ever done.
