Julieta and the Romeos
Description
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.
Praise for Julieta and the Romeos
“An engaging tale of family and identity wrapped up in a sweet rom-com.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Readers will be in suspense about the identity of Julieta’s online collaborator and her ultimate Romeo right up until the final chapters. This is a fun and introspective romance that transcends the expected Romeo and Juliet tropes.” — School Library Journal
“[With] many well-drawn characters and lively dialogue…. Andreu offers an involving portrayal of Jules and her summer of writing and romance.” — ALA Booklist
“A fun, heartfelt reimagining of the story we all know so well (but maybe not as well as we think!), Julieta and the Romeos juggles not one, not two, but three swoon-worthy romances, with a thoroughly modern Julieta who isn’t afraid to go after what she wants.”
— Katharine McGee, author of the New York Times bestselling American Royals series
