Tangled Up In You by Christina Lauren
She has a dream. He has a plan. Together they’ll take a leap of faith.
Ren has never held an iPhone, googled the answer to a question, or followed a crush on social media. What she has done: Read a book or two, or three (okay, hundreds). Taught herself to paint. Built a working wind power system from scratch. But for all the books she’s read, Ren has never found one that’s taught a woman raised on a homestead and off the grid for most of her twenty-two years how to live in the real world. So when she finally achieves her lifelong dream of attending Corona College, it feels like her life is finally beginning.
Fitz has the rest of his life mapped out: Graduate from Corona at the top of his class, get his criminal record wiped clean, and pass himself off as the rich, handsome player everyone thinks he is. He’s a few short months from checking off step one of his plans when Ren Gylden, with her cascading blonde hair and encyclopedic brain, crashes into his life, and for the first time Fitz’s plan is in jeopardy.
But a simple assignment in their immunology seminar changes the course of both their lives, and suddenly they’re thrown out of the frying pan and into the fire on a road trip that will lead them in the most unexpected directions. Out on the open road, the world somehow shifts, and the unlikely pair realize that, maybe, the key to the dreams they’ve both been chasing have been sitting next to them the whole time.
Tangled is one of my favorite Disney movies so I knew I had to pick this one up.
I loved both Ren and Fitz. I pictured them as the cartoons throughout the whole book. I’m not sure why, but I couldn’t picture them any other way. Ren was the sweetest person. I loved that this took place in college and that the characters were older. The falling in love was quick, but it’s Disney. It always is. I was glad that Fitz took things slow and understood Ren after spending just a small amount of time with her. The road trip was fun and I really enjoyed Ren having so many firsts. The romance was sweet and there was nothing graphic. It really just felt like a Disney cartoon for younger adults.
I gave this book 5 stars.
Have you read this? Is it on your TBR?
