Thank you Hyperion Avenue for this ARC.

I’ve been so excited to read the third Meant to be book. I love the concept of mixing Disney fairytales with modern romance.

I’ve loved Zoraida Cordova’s writing since Bruja Born, so I was hyped to read her take on The Little Mermaid. This one might be my favourite in the whole series and I really hope Disney continues it. It’s a fun IP to get lost in and all the easter eggs and direct Disney references are fun. It hits the nostalgia button hard.

The romance is hot, despite this being a closed door romance. The conflict keeping them apart is believable and ups the tension. It’s the rockstar trope twice over, but also secret identity romance.

The supporting characters are rich and well drawn out. The thing I love about the series as a whole is that the villains are always complex and three dimensional. Under Cordova’s skilled hand, the Ursula stand in is sexy, fierce and protective. But also concerned with contracts. Chef’s kiss.

Would recommend this book for anyone who loves fairytale retellings, rock stars, latin x, and well modern romance in general.
