Queen B’s Decree: Meant to Be Mine was a slog for me.
The concept was really interesting: Edie’s grandmother had a vision years ago predicting the date she’d meet her future true love, and since then she has successfully predicted multiple family members. Including, Edie and her twin sister.
Edie is so stuck on this family prophecy, that she breaks up with her loving boyfriend purely so she will be single and prepared for this day. Then once she meets who she believes to be her true love, she is constantly comparing him to the loving ex-boyfriend. It really got old, how often she compared them.
I got about 50% through Meant to Be Mine before I just couldn’t go on anymore. Edie was so selfish and focused on herself that I couldn’t imagine her in a happy relationship (no matter who her significant other was). I skipped ahead to the end and she honestly made no sense in her relationship decisions.
A swing and a miss from Hannah Orenstein this go around.
