JULIETA AND THE ROMEOS

Maria E. Andreu

9A fresh, high concept romcom from Maria Andreu with You've Got Mail vibes, about a girl determined to figure out which of the boys in her real-world orbit is the anonymous commenter on the online poetry she is posting for her writing seminar.
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 romcom has a mysterious new contributor, HappilyEverDrafter. 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.

Maria E. Andreu is an Argentinian American author whose work has appeared in Teen Vogue, Newsweek, the Washington Post, and the Newark Star Ledger. Her debut young adult novel, The Secret Side of Empty, was a National Indie Excellence Book Award winner. Her debut novel was Love in English.

[T]he many well-drawn characters and lively dialogue, along with passages from Jules' writing, are engaging. The author of Love in English (2021), Andreu offers an involving portrayal of Jules and her summer of writing and romance.

...The reader eventually realizes that all of Julieta's three Romeos could easily be Happily Ever Drafter. Within each relationship lies the possibility for Julieta to have three very different outcomes. The novel unfolds much like a Choose Your Own Adventure story. But which path will Julieta take? Who does Julieta want to be? No pressure though - because there are no wrong answers, and there is much delight to be had in the unexpected. Read more...

An engaging tale of family and identity wrapped up in a sweet rom-com.
