Review of 'Meet-Cute Project' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Mia is a high school junior who likes watching true crime documentaries, not the rom-coms her friends pick out on movie night. But then her older sister needs Mia to find a date for her upcoming wedding, so Mia's friends come up with The Meet Cute Project to see which one can find Mia the perfect date. Mia really just wants to focus on her math club and swim team activities, not to mention navigating family relationships when her sister has suddenly turned into a bridezilla. But along the way she learns a few lessons when the perfect wedding date turns into something more.

This was a free read this month on the Riveted by Simon Teen web site. I had a little trouble getting into it at first, but after chapter 4, I was able to keep reading straight until the end. The setting threw me off a bit. This felt like it takes place in a small town but is actually set in Chicago. Other than the references to Lake Michigan views and the Riviera Theater, I didn't get the sense of an urban landscape. But that is a small nitpick.
