Hi Everyone!

Stopping by to let you know about a book I am Waiting on Wednesday for! This one made me stop just by the allure of the cover. When I read the short synopsis, I knew I wanted it on my list!

Meant To Be
Release date: October 24, 2017
Author:  Julie Halpern

Summary from Goodreads: 
In a world where the names of MTBs—"meant to be" mates—appear on the body at age eighteen, a girl must decide whether to believe the phenomenon or follow her heart in this YA novel.

It started happening a few years ago: the names of MTBs—"meant to be" mates—appeared emblazoned on the skin at age eighteen. Agatha's best friend has embraced the phenomenon and is head over heels in love with her MTB. But Ag isn't so sure. As she searches the interwebs for her MTB (who has a common name, no less) she finds herself falling for a co-worker at the local amusement park. Is he a better match? What does Agatha really want in a mate, and moreover, what does she want for herself?

With her trademark wit and irreverence, acclaimed author Julie Halpern explores an age-old question: Who are we meant to be with? Readers won't be able to resist knowing the answer.

Powered by Chicory

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mix together all ingredients and spread into a greased 9x13 pan.
3. Bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

*This would be AWESOME with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

*One commenter said "I froze these and then a week later, defrosted them. They came out great with no loss of taste or texture!" so these should be good for freezing!

*You can also use ANY flavor of cake mix and small candy to mix in, so be creative! Check out the comments below to see some awesome cake mix/topping combinations (for example: chocolate cake with chopped peanut butter cups or mint chips, spice cake with butterscotch chips, German chocolate cake with pecans and coconut shavings, one commenter made a s'mores cake with yellow cake mix, graham cracker pieces, chocolate chips, and marshmallows!) The possibilities are endless!

It’s finally here . . . the much-anticipated sequel to See You Soon Broadway! Maris is back! Decisions, decisions, decisions . . . Maris Forrester’s exciting new life is not everything she was hoping it would be. Although she’s happy in her new career, she’s plagued with the feeling that something is still missing. Imagine her surprise when an old friend presents her with an unbelievable opportunity that could change everything. This new career sounds almost too good to be true, including the upcoming trip to London. She quickly learns that even the most perfect scenarios have their drawbacks, and when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is . . . In addition to making a life-changing career choice, Maris realizes she has other decisions to make—whom to love and where to find happiness. What if neither is what she thought they should be?
