A modern tale of unexpectedly falling in love, and finding your voice—the highly anticipated third installment of in the acclaimed and best-selling Meant to Be collection.
Ariel del Mar is one of the most famous singers in the world. She and her sisters—together, known as the band Siren Seven—have been a pop culture phenomenon since they were kids. On stage, wearing her iconic red wig and sequined costumes, staring out at a sea of fans, is where she shines. Anyone would think she's the girl who has everything.
But lately, she wants more. Siren Seven is wrapping up their farewell tour, and Ariel can't wait to spend the summer just living a normal life—part of a world she's only ever seen from the outside. But her father, the head of Atlantica Records, has other plans: begin her breakout solo career immediately, starting with a splashy announcement on a morning talk show.
The night before, Ariel and her sisters sneak out of their Manhattan penthouse for a night of incognito fun at a rock concert in Brooklyn. It's there that Ariel crosses paths with Eric Reyes, dreamy lead singer of an up-and-coming band. Unaware of her true identity, Eric spontaneously invites her on the road for the summer. And for the first time in her life, Ariel disobeys her father—and goes with him.
Caught between the world she longs for and the one she's left behind, can Ariel follow her dreams, fall in love, and, somehow, find her own voice?
I loved reading this book! The Little Mermaid is my other favourite Disney Renaissance movie, with the music being so much fun to sing. So this retelling, where the sisters are in a band, that their dad owns a record label, yeah, it was fantastic!
Ariel wants to have a break, to be a normal person, after being part of the band for so long. But her father puts her in a tough position, to stay on, and let her sisters go and have this break. So of course she needs just a little time of freedom.
It was so much fun to see Ariel on the road with this band, who don't know who she is, and just to relax and have fun with music. It was what she wanted to do before, even though she's going against her dad's wishes, and that's too bad, because she needs to live her own life.
The romance was so sweet, I really enjoyed her and Eric, as well as this story of her finding out who she wanted to be, what she wanted out of her life. It was a sweet and adorable read, that I had such a great time with!
Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more of this series!
