You’ve Got Mail meets a YA Beach Read with a bookish mystery at its heart in the newest rom-com from Maria E. Andreu. The ideal next read for fans of Emily Henry, Kasie West, and Jennifer E. Smith.

Julieta isn’t looking for her Romeo–but she is writing about love. When her summer writing teacher encourages the class to publish their work online, the last thing she’s expecting is to get a notification that her rom-com has a mysterious new contributor, Happily Ever Drafter. Julieta knows that happily ever afters aren’t real. (Case in point: her parents’ imploding marriage.) But then again, could this be her very own meet-cute?

As things start to heat up in her fiction, Julieta can’t help but notice three boys in her real life: her best friend’s brother (aka her nemesis), the boy next door (well, to her abuela), and her oldest friend (who is suddenly looking . . . hot?). Could one of them be her mysterious collaborator? But even if Julieta finds her Romeo, she’ll have to remember that life is full of plot twists. . . .

From the author of Love in English comes a fresh take on love and romance, and a reminder to always be the author of your own life story.

I’ve been seeing this pitched as a new take on “You’ve Got Mail” and I’d say that’s an accurate this to compare this book to. I found it really cute and fun, a great RomCom for the YA genre.

I really enjoyed the family dynamics more than anything, as well as Julieta’s culture and heritage being represented. There was also the fact that she dreams of being an author, so we got to see snippets of her work which for me was a fun addition.

All in all I found this to be a fun read that is perfect for those looking for something in the classic RomCom genre – but still has substance and story points beyond the classic tropes in the genre.

Happy reading!
