			        		&#x201C;Well-written characters and fascinating plot twists will appeal to book groups and fans of women&#x2019;s fiction.&#x201D;&#x2014;Library Journal&#x201C;McDonough does a fabulous job showing that being blind-sided isn&#x2019;t always a bad thing. Sometimes, even the best surprises come out of it. Every facet of the book is compelling, but readers might particularly enjoy the dynamics between the heroine and the two male protagonists. The story&#x2019;s effortless fluidity will have readers questioning how this inspired-by-real-events premise unfolds.&#x201D;&#x2014;Romantic Times&quot;With a deft, sure touch, Yona Zeldis McDonough explores the ways families are formed and how love can take you by surprise. An absorbing and soul-stirring novel.&quot;&#x2014;Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times&#xA0;bestselling author of Orphan Train&quot;Abounding with warmth and charm, You Were Meant for Me, is a profoundly moving novel which explores the intensity of love and the fallout of heartbreak. It will capture your attention from the very first page and never let go.&quot;&#x2014;Emily Liebert, author of When We Fall&quot;Intriguing, beautifully told and keeps you guessing right to the last pages.&quot;&#x2014;Sue Margolis, author of Best Supporting Role

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I began reading it on a Saturday evening and stayed up late to keep in the wonderful company of this story
  

*by B***N on October 28, 2014*









  
  
    I found this book a total pleasure.  I began reading it on a Saturday evening and stayed up late to keep in the wonderful company of this story.  On Sunday morning I sank back down into it and finished late that day, feeling as if I'd been given a delicious treat of wisdom, savviness, shrewd observation, and profound intimacy.  Ms. McDonough conveys the way we register need and desire, the way we build families, the way an inner yearning can surprise someone in its fulfillment.I enjoyed, as well, the way the artistry of the writing.  As with other novels by the same author, I felt her incisive knowledge of human nature and of the way the world operates, and I found myself putting stars in the margins at moments that illuminated for me something unexpected and significant about human nature.  Her understanding of women's friendships -- their occasionally competitive edge, their ways of healing from ruptures -- also spoke to me.  There are certain favorite movies that I watch when I'm blue; I'm grateful to them for captivating me and pulling me into their world.  I am grateful to You Were Meant for Me for casting the same compelling spell, and for bringing me so much information about the world and the human heart.  I'm not a mother, but this book spoke deeply to me.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Another deeply satisfying novel from one of my favorite authors.
  

*by C***S on November 9, 2014*









  
  
    Yona Zeldis McDonough is one of my favorite authors because she writes so truthfully about women, motherhood, marriage, love and family in these very complicated times.  Many of McDonough's contemporaries are classified as "chick lit" writers but her novels, with intelligent and compassionate female characters, goes beyond that trite category. YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME is a thrilling read about a woman who finds an abandoned baby, and so much more.  Other favorite novels are A WEDDING IN GREAT NECK which  has perhaps one of my favorite teenage characters in literature. All these are terrific novels for reading groups. Enjoy.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    It's a keeper
  

*by K***A on March 24, 2015*









  
  
    I loved this novel from the first page. Based on a true story, this tale about what it means to be a mother, and what it takes to open yourself to true love will resonate with everyone. It's a keeper.
