Meant to Be Mine A Novel

What if you knew the exact moment you’d meet your soulmate? For Edie Meyer, that day is June 24, 2022—a date she’s been anticipating her entire life, thanks to her Grandma Gloria’s uncanny gift for predicting when family members will meet their true love.

From the author of Maine Characters and Playing with Matches, Hannah Orenstein delivers a sweeping, emotionally resonant novel that explores the delicate interplay between destiny and choice. When twenty-nine-year-old Edie boards a plane on her fateful day and finds herself seated next to a charming musician, she’s certain the universe has aligned. But love, as it turns out, rarely follows a simple script.

This captivating story asks the questions that keep us awake at night: Does love choose us, or do we choose it? As Edie navigates unexpected tragedy and life-altering revelations, she discovers that the path to true love is far more complex—and beautiful—than any prophecy could predict.

Perfect for readers who adored Rebecca Serle’s In Five Years and Chloe Benjamin’s The Immortalists, Meant to Be Mine is a tender exploration of family bonds, the courage it takes to trust your heart, and the realization that sometimes the most meaningful love stories are the ones we write ourselves. Settle in with this page-turner on a rainy afternoon at the shop, or take it with you for a contemplative walk along the Marginal Way—either way, you’ll find yourself believing in magic again.
