Tangled Up In You

Ren has lived a very sheltered life. She barely left the farm until the age of 22 when her parents finally agreed to let her attend college – with certain conditions. She’s to go home every weekend to complete her chores. She’s not allowed to spend time with boys or use the internet (except for class), and she can’t go off campus.
Ren is delighted with the campus; she’s never seen anywhere more beautiful. Sure, she sticks out like a sore thumb, but everyone can’t help becoming enchanted by her – no one except for Fitz.
Fitz has his own agenda; he’s seeking revenge on the man who ruined his family. He has a plan to make it happen and that plan doesn’t include Ren.
But one assignment will change the course of their lives.
TANGLED UP IN YOU is the fourth book in the Meant to Be series. But this series isn’t connected. This retelling of Tangled will leave fans wanting more. I loved all the facts Ren spouted about places during their road trip. Of course, during the road trip, there was only one bed. In addition to the forced proximity trope, there is also the grumpy/sunshine trope. There were cute, funny, and sweet moments, but there were also moments of self-discovery, trauma, and healing. The ending might have been a little rushed, but that could just be because I wanted more time with Ren and Fitz.  If you’re a Disney fan, this series is a must-read.

SUMMARY

A witty and deeply romantic modern reimagining of Disney’s Tangled, by the New York Times bestselling author duo Christina Lauren, part of the acclaimed and bestselling Meant to Be collection.

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.
