Julieta and the Romeos

By: Maria E. Andreu

Narrated by: Elisa Meléndez

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.

Fun twist

Enjoyable. The post Covid world was awesome to see in a book. The “mystery” part of the synopsis for the story was definitely on the light side. But I enjoyed the creativity and how she was working through story ideas, poems, and plot twists. Definitely felt like I was in the mind of an author.

An OK Read At Best

I can honestly say this book was like a weird dream, I remember bits and pieces of it but overall it was nothing special

The story is about Julietta, she is from an immigrant family and dreams of being a good writer, that's why she enrolls in a summer program for writers, and her first assignment was to write her story in a site (like wattpad), she begins to write then she receives a message from an anonymous user (happily ever drafter), and Julietta is hooked with this guy, she tries to find out who he is and there are three candidates for his identity, this summer is going is be interesting
if you know me I'm always down for an anonymous love story, but this one didn't hit it for me, it was consistently boring and I couldn't bring myself to care for any of the characters, and that plot twist at the end wasn't to my liking, all and all it was an OK read at best, but I barely remember it now
