Thank you to Ana Huang for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are mine.

Synopsis: One year, two opposites, and a love that will blindside and, ultimately, shatter them.

She’s an aspiring interior designer who dreams of falling in love.
He’s an ex-football star who thinks love is a con.

She’s a virgin, and he doesn’t do virgins.
He’s cocky, infuriating, and not her type.

She wants the fairytale.
He wants freedom.

Blake and Farrah shouldn’t have fallen for each other the way they did: totally, completely, and irrevocably.

Because they’re studying abroad in Shanghai, and they only have one year.

Because forces at home threaten to rip them apart, even if they don’t know it yet.

And because, eventually, they must face the most heartbreaking lesson they’ll ever learn:  sometimes, even the greatest love can’t conquer all. (Amazon)

If We Ever Meet Again is the story of what happens when life surprises us and we open ourselves up to something different from what we thought we wanted.  

This story was sweet and heartwarming, with two very likable characters.  Though I found Farrah and Blake's first meeting a little fast in happening and ever so slightly hurried, it was still charming.  Their quick zings and ability to take each other lightly despite their attraction for one another was very relatable and drew me in as a reader.  If nothing else, they made me smile.  Though their story does not come to a (temporary) close in the best of terms, it's bittersweet, and does hold hope.

One of my favorite parts about the book were the rich descriptions of its setting.  The scene between our two leads at the Great Wall of China was breathtaking, and though it had to do about their connection more so than the place, it was so easy to picture them there with history surrounding them.  That scene, by the way, was the first time that this novel made me feel truly emotional—it was great to see two people who, up to this point were mostly bickering and bantering with one another, show vulnerability.

Between Farrah and Blake's friends, the cozy bond that they all have formed together, and the adventures that they take, If We Ever Meet Again was endearing. It's very much about not just the romantic relationships, but those in general.

The best lesson I have learned from Ana Huang's If We Ever Meet Again book is to never be afraid of going out of your comfort zone. I know that a lot of us are afraid of change. That is why we tend to not try new things because we are afraid of losing what we already have. But, we cannot stay in the same place forever if we want to grow. We have to learn how to push ourselves beyond our limitations because once we do, we will discover that there are a lot of things we have been missing out on.
