Maybe Meant to Be
K. L. Walther · 2023
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Broken Rules comes a high school romance that flips the switch on the will they or won't they trope.<br/>If Charlie and Sage are meant to be, why can't Sage stop kissing Charlie's brother?<br/>And why can't Charlie stop thinking about kissing the new boy at school?<br/>Everyone at the Bexley School believes that Sage Morgan and Charlie Carmichael are meant to be. Even though Charlie seems to have a new girlfriend every month, and Sage has never had a real relationship, their friends and family all know it's just a matter of time until they realize that they are actually in love.<br/>When Luke Morrissey shows up on campus his presence immediately shakes things up. Charlie and Luke are drawn to each other the moment they meet, giving Sage the opportunity to spend time with Charlie's twin brother, Nick.<br/>But Charlie is afraid of what others will think if he accepts that he has much more than a friendship with Luke. And Sage fears that if she lets things with Nick get too serious too quickly, they won't be able to last as a couple outside of high school and miss their chance at forever. The duo will need to rely on each other and their lifelong friendship to figure things out with the boys they love.

<p><b>One of Cosmo's Best YA Novels of All Time</b><br><br><b>A fresh, irresistible rom-com from debut author Emma Lord about the chances we take, the paths life can lead us on, and how love can be found in the opposite place you expected.</b><br><b><br>Meet Pepper</b>, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. Her family may be falling apart, but their massive fast-food chain is booming — mainly thanks to Pepper, who is barely managing to juggle real life while secretly running Big League Burger’s massive Twitter account. <br><br><b>Enter Jack</b>, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side. When he isn’t trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin’s shadow, he’s busy working in his family’s deli. His relationship with the business that holds his future might be love/hate, but when Big League Burger steals his grandma’s iconic grilled cheese recipe, he’ll do whatever it takes to take them down, one tweet at a time. <br><br>All’s fair in love and cheese — that is, until Pepper and Jack’s spat turns into a viral Twitter war. Little do they know, while they’re publicly duking it out with snarky memes and retweet battles, they’re also falling for each other in real life — on an anonymous chat app Jack built. <br><br>As their relationship deepens and their online shenanigans escalate — <i>people on the internet are shipping them??</i> — their battle gets more and more personal, until even these two rivals can’t ignore they were destined for the most unexpected, awkward, all-the-feels romance that neither of them expected.<br><br><b>"A witty rom-com reinvention … with deeply relatable insights on family pressure and growing up.” - Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of <i>Always Never Yours</i> and <i>If I’m Being Honest</i> </b><br><br><b>“An adorable debut that updates a classic romantic trope with a buzzy twist." - Jenn Bennett, author of <i>Alex, Approximately</i> and <i>Serious Moonlight </i></b></p>
