This book was thoroughly engaging and solidly written. I enjoyed Quinn's journey as she discovered what she wanted and who she was. in this life.

With witty and engaging writing, this book drew me in from the start. I loved the idea of an entire family working together to bring happiness to others. I also enjoyed how she brought together different religions into the job as well.

Most of the characters were well developed and I wanted to see more of them. The only downfall I had to reading the book was I felt that the approach to mental health, while important, seemed a bit inauthentic, pushed, if you will. I do think it's important that people and teens talk about these things more, but I also want to read authentically. At times it felt like a forced conversation was being had amongst friends just for the sake of "OH, SEE, IT'S BEING TALKED ABOUT, SO IT'S OKAY!" It wasn't every time, just sometimes. Her conversations with Tarek about it seemed the most natural. Perhaps that was on purpose. Her conversations with Noelle and Julia seemed stilted and forced, like they were thrown in for good measure.

That aside, I loved the fun parts of B + B, the romance, the music - it all came together for a fun and engaging coming of age story that I fully intend to push upon people. :)

Rachel Lynn Solomon has done it again. The characters, friendships, and relationships she crafts are always marvelous to read about, and her excellent, sharp writing makes you unable to put the book down. I will never not recommend one of her works, and WE CAN’T KEEP MEETING LIKE THIS is no different. The characters are fascinating and imperfect in the most relatable of ways, and the mistakes they make and emotions they feel are ones that almost every teenager can relate to. Solomon explores themes of love and family and what a healthy relationship of both of those looks like, and in a story that is just as addictive as all of her other books.
