Another home-run from Christina Lauren. Tangled up takes the reader on a slow burn kinda adventure of the two main characters learning about themselves and the world around them. Ren shows up to a college campus never setting forth in a public school setting with the love of learning. She learns something questioning her life and invites herself to tag a long on a cross country trip with Fitz. Along the ride, the characters learn how to jive with each other and leads to self discovery. I enjoyed reading this book!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this! I really liked how this had a Tangled twist. It wasn't my favorite Christina Lauren novel, but it is definitely fun and great for fans of Disney!

Loved reading the engaging and captivating romance story. When Ren's parents finally agree to let Ren go away to college, Ren discovers through a DNA test that she has someone related to her, and she gets Fitz to agree to take her with him on his road trip. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting love story by the amazing author, Christina Lauren!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Not going to lie, it wasn’t too bad, but it also wasn’t the adaptation I thought it would be?

I freaking love the duo that is Christina Lauren! I didn’t realize this book was part of a series, but it didn’t really matter as these books can be read as stand alones. I loved this modern adaptation of the Disney movie/story tangled!

Great book!! I truly love anything Christina Lauren writes! This book was a refreshing change. Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

As serious as a sleep attack, this book enchanted the pants off of me.

This book is the essence of Disney's Tangled, but with the Christina Lauren twist. As a Disney loving adult and Tangled being one of my favorite movies, I had a lot of expiations going into this book and the authors did an amazing job making this story their own.

Ren is a character that you cannot help but fall in love with. Though she lacks some “street smarts”, she is well versed with random factoids and a charming personality that could win over the coldest of hearts. Fitz was the perfect opposite to complement Ren. He oozes charisma and cockiness, but once you peel back the layers lies a man whose heart is as big as his perceived ego.

Their growth through this story is what gave this retelling of Tangled a unique standalone story. Though the authors did a great job adding the original elements to this story, I truly enjoyed their unique voices and classic Christina Lauren elements that set it apart from the original.

This book was everything I enjoyed about Disney's Tangled while also standing on its own. It’s a fast paced read that will grab you by your heart and give you the best kind of butterflies. Thank you to Hyperion Avenue and NetGalley for the ARC

I absolutely ADORE the movie Tangled, and it's my all-time favorite Disney movie, so I was very excited to read this book, and I wasn't disappointed. Christina Lauren has such a way with words, and if you're looking for a cute romance then this is definitely the book for you. Maybe I'm just a cranky old woman, but I do feel like this story leaned more toward the YA audience than the older crowd, like me, and that's probably why I had a difficult time fully investing myself in the main characters, Ren and Fitz. Overall, though, I would still recommend it, and as always, I'll be anxiously awaiting the author's next book!

I’ve always been yay or nay when it comes to Christina Lauren, so consider that when you read this. It was cute. I won’t say I don’t enjoy it, but it wasn’t my favorite of theirs. It would be considered something to read in a day, and if you are just looking for a fun good time.

I honestly didn’t know where this story was going when I first started reading this. I thought this was going to be a romcom, but it turned into a semi romcom suspense read. The first 40% was quite slow, and by the 70% range it got better.

I guess I should have watched the Disney movie Tangled to understand the premise of the book, but it was cute nonetheless.

Thank you NetGalley and Hyperion Avenue for my advanced reader copy.

Tangled Up in You was a cute and quick read. I enjoyed that it was a modern retelling of Rapunzel (or Tangled, for Disney fans) geared for adults. Quite honestly, I felt like the main character, Ren, was pulled directly from Disney’s Enchanted. She was delightfully naive, exhaustingly optimistic and truly adorable. However, the relationship between Ren and Fitz felt unsatisfying to me, and the last third of the book felt a bit rushed…like the authors were trying to tie up too many loose ends in too short a time. I would have enjoyed having the ending fleshed out a bit more so it didn’t feel so slapdash to me.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love everything Christina Lauren write and this was no exception! I totally forgot that this was supposed to be a Tangled retelling so rereading that part after I finished just made it all the more special. I loved the development of Ren and Edward both as individuals and together. I enjoyed the Dual POV in this book too.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

4.5; So...I feel a bit silly saying that I didn’t realize this was a re-telling of Tangled until I started to review it, but I didn’t, and it might not have mattered anyway, because I haven’t seen Tangled.

"Tangled Up in You" by Christina Lauren is a charming and romantic modern adaptation of Disney’s Tangled, skillfully crafted by the bestselling author duo. The narrative unfolds through dual perspectives, capturing the essence of a grumpysunshine dynamic in YA. Ren Gylden, with a unique upbringing, embarks on her journey to navigate the real world by attending college. Fitz, armed with a meticulously planned life, faces unexpected disruptions when Ren crashes his road trip. The story takes an intriguing turn with a transformative road trip initiated by a simple assignment in their immunology seminar.

In the realm of contemporary romance and chick lit, "Tangled Up in You" excels as a quick, adorable, and fluffy read. The authors successfully blend elements of a classic fairy tale with a modern society backdrop, making it an enjoyable choice for readers who want an engaging and romantic escape. I was thankful it wasn’t just an insta-love romance. While the middle of the book dragged on a bit, the final third picks up the pace by transforming into a mini thriller. The book could benefit from elaborating more on the conclusion, or perhaps an epilogue would have added a well rounded ending to the story.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Tangled and other Disney fairytale retellings.

Thank you, NetGalley and Hyperion Avenue, for providing me with the ARC of Tangled Up In You.

A new take on a Disney classic? Yes please!

Ah I loved this story! Once i started I couldn’t stop!! The storyline was person and the character development was so fun to read.

Even though you likely know the story and have an idea how it’s going to end, this book was written so well it keeps you on your toes the whole way through.

I was so sad when it over !! I am hoping they will add an epilogue when they release the book!

Highly recommend and will be checking out the other books in this series.

I really wanted to love this book, especially as a Disney fan. However, I feel that the FMC and her inability to think for herself has set women back at least 30 years.... Some likable qualities of the books would be the one-bed trope and the beautiful writing of Christian Lauren. But unfortunately, even these do not make up for the infuriating plot. Ren has grown up on a homestead away from the modern world her whole life. As a result, even at the age of 22 she is still beholden to the archaic expectations of her parents and doesn't seem to question them. When she leaves for college, she does begin to question the life her parents have provided for her up until this point and it's really cool to see this little bit of character growth. However, Fitz is still so unlikeable it's hard to really root for them throughout the book. I had a hard time finishing this one, but I do attribute most of that to my age. A younger teen may be able to relate to the relationship between Ren and her parents, as well as Fitz rather flat character more.

I’ve loved Christina Lauren’ books for years because they often have such a good balance of angsty romance and sweet moments and this book was no exception. Loved this take and the retelling.

This retelling of Rapunzel is set in modern times with Ren Glyden the bearer of long golden hair and a new college student in Spokane. Ren has never left her family farm, and has a naivety that charms her classmates, none more than her biology lab partner Fitz, who found Ren extremely annoying at first (of course). When Ren discovers through DNA testing that her father is not who she thought he was, she ropes Fitz into driving her across the country to find him. During the trip, they grow closer, and the prose gets purpler, although the action doesn’t cross the line.

The journey turns out to be one of discovery in more ways than one for both Ren and Fitz, but the slightly racier but tired Hallmark quality of the text left me somewhat bored.

Nevertheless, I liked both the main characters, and although I didn’t like the writing that much, I enjoyed the story.

The Meant to Be novels are light, fun reads that offer a nice escape, and Tangled Up in You fits that mold. I was excited to see this next installment was written by Christina Lauren. Tangled Up in You is closed door and less obvious in how it follow the fairytale than some of the others in this series. The characters are believable in a romcom sort of way and their banter and tropes are fun. In some ways, Ren reminded me more of the book Educated than Rapunzel, but this made her more endearing to me. Fitz plays a delightful grumpy to Ren’s sunshine (also his nickname for her). I was surprised when the pace picked up and it became a page turner with suspense! I would absolutely recommend this book to lovers of romcoms, Disney nostalgia, and Christina Lauren.

Thanks to Hyperion Avenue and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

As part of the Meant to Be series, Christina Lauren takes their amazing writing style to this cute retelling of Rapunzel in TANGLED UP IN YOU.

I have read one or two others in the series and was pretty underwhelmed, but since I tend to read anything and everything by this dynamic duo, I decided to give the series one last chance. I’m glad I did!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher was an eARC.
