Julieta and the Romeos
by Maria E. Andreu
Buy on AmazonYou'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?…

"Julieta Talavera Toledo, 17, escapes into writing, the perfect haven for her increasingly runaway imagination. She has a highly entertaining penchant for hilariously detailed descriptions of the people, places and things around her – especially the three handsome boys she can’t seem to avoid these days: Lucas, Calvin and Ryan. For writing exercise homework, Julieta posts a story online and receives a request for collaboration from someone going by “Happily Ever Drafter.” All of Julieta’s Romeos could easily be Happily Ever Drafter. There are no wrong answers and much delight to be had as the mystery unfolds, flavored with the romantic spice of Argentina."
