About this ebook

'An Unputdownable Romance! Wow oh wow one thing is for sure this book NEEDS to be made into a film!... I was totally swept away... Truly is a feel-good, heartfelt, inspiring and heart-warming... Once I started reading I couldn't put it down!' Goodreads Reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What if the Lift driver who finds your cheating boyfriend's phone holds the directions to true love?

'Who are you and why do you have my boyfriend's phone?'

'He left it in my car. You must be the blonde in the red dress? I'm the Lift driver who dropped you two off earlier.'

And with these words, the life of the brunette and t-shirt wearing Maya Maas is turned upside down. Having planned to surprise her boyfriend, she finds herself single and stranded in an unknown city on her birthday.

So when the mystery driver rescues Maya with the suggestion that she cheers herself up at a nearby beach town, she jumps at the chance to get things back on track. She wasn't expecting a personalised itinerary or the easy companionship that comes from opening up to a stranger via text, let alone the possibility it might grow into something more...

Come on this 5* journey to love, laughter and back again, perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Josie Silver and Sally Thorne.

I liked this book. The story was a bit over the top in a sweet, very modern and super cute way. I think most readers will easily be able to feel for Maya, I know I sure did! I thought Max was a great guy and really just the kind of person would could all use in our life at one point or another. It is definitely a fun read that will warm your heart and bring some light into your day. For me though, it came up a bit short in the romance and feels department, even if it does give you some swoon. I am electing to post a objective review.

The Meeting Point is a book that will make you believe the statement: if Love is meant to be, it will. Maya Maas' story is one of missteps and mistakes. It is a journey of losing and subsequently finding herself. It is a story of a chance encounter on the worst day of her life - a story of her willingness to let fear go and to see where the moment leads. I will just say that there are many layers to The Meeting Point. The places Maya finds herself are probably relatable for most of us at some point in our lives. What I admired most about Maya is her courage to let go of her fears and the security that they brought to her life in order to find herself. Olivia Lara has taken us on an unforgettable adventure via writer Maya Maas. It was both painful and magical. Her characters brought to life the insecurities and desires that most people feel. Her characters help me to belive that Love is out there for all of us, if we just believe

Four and a half Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭒ The Meeting Point By Olivia Lara is a whole lot of fun. It definitely has “You’ve Got Mail” vibes but in an updated and cool way. It’s full of humor and heart, and I enjoyed this very much. Maya decides to surprise her boyfriend by traveling from New York City to San Fransisco for her birthday. When she arrives at the airport in San Fransico, she can’t get a hold of her boyfriend on the phone, and instead, she reaches his Lyft driver who inadvertently spills that her boyfriend was cheating on her in a text. Ethan, the Lyft driver, feels sorry for her, and sorry he was the one to let her know about her boyfriend’s cheating. With a day left in the Bay Area, he takes her on an adventure in Carmel on Sea by text. They decide to leave out any personal information and they never meet face to face as they explore the coastal town together. The humor and heart in this book are evident throughout the entire book. I loved Maya and Ethan and couldn’t wait for them to be together, but it took some time! I loved the old movie “You’ve Got Mail” and this book has a similar story, but updated. The author did an excellent job of describing the town of Carmel by Sea, and I felt like I was there. At the old victorian houses, the lovely cafe, and the bonfire on the beach. This is a perfect summer book, full of fun, and sunshine. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
