Joe was so kind and loving. His development was so good.
I dont know much about the Kennedy family but this story was so good. I love the star crossed lovers and the tropes of we are from different backgrounds so this can’t work.

but at the end of the day, i love a cute romance where the characters are so in love. so here’s to love in 2023!
*edit- read the authors note! didn’t realize this was inspired by JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette! going down that rabbit hole now…

I devoured Giffin's story, her writing, and her well-paced plot. While Meant to Be is definitely a love story, it's a difficult one with numerous obstacles to conquer. The characters are incredibly-well developed and I couldn't help but keep turning pages. It's one of the better "what if" books I have read and I hope you put this one on your summer reading list. It's irresistible.
