  A Merry Little Meet Cute   by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone Published: 20th September 2022 by HarperCollins I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way affects my review. After finding out what the premise of this book was, I was a bit skeptical about it, and it definitely had the potential to go very downhill, but I think Murphy and Simone found the perfect level of ridiculousness without being unrealistic.

I normally get overwhelmed with books that have a lot of principal characters, but I loved how each of their stories seamlessly weaved together and getting to see times in which they come together as a family. I don't really think the drug dealer storyline was, but that's just because I was enjoying the rest...
