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. "I dare you to not fall wildly in love with Ren and Fitz! Christina Lauren as a writing duo is a national treasure." -- Jesse Q. Sutanto, National Bestselling author of DIAL A FOR AUNTIES and VERA WONG'S UNSOLICITED ADVICE FOR MURDERERS 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.

"it started off kinda slow but all that was said is necessary for the HUGE plot twist at the end. "

"Tangled was a cute story about girl named Ren navigating the outside world for the first time on her own. For a modern day Disney retelling they did an amazing job with the characters. Ren was a great version of repunzel and fitz was a great flinn rider. She’s very naive but very intelligent self taught. She finds out she a child of kidnapping so she and the fitz goes on a road to find her bio dad to discover who she is and to have more experiences. It’s was a nice story but not my favorite Christina Lauren story."
"Thank you to Hyperion Avenue for the digital advance copy in exchange for an honest review. <br/><br/>Tangled Up in You was a bit of a slow start for me. As someone who has not seen Tangled, I found it difficult to get into Ren's character with her off-the-grid, uber-sheltered lifestyle. But once Ren and Fitz started their road trip, it was difficult to put down. The way Fitz was so protective of Ren and drawn to her, despite Ren having blackmailed him into going on this trip, was charming (Disney pun intended). The chemistry between them was a sweet, slow-burn. Plus, I love a grumpy sunshine.<br/><br/>I was anxious to find out what secrets Fitz was hiding about his past. Once he opened up to Ren, he was surprised by her non judgement and patience. I love that he was never pushy or tried to take advantage of how naive Ren seemed to be, even slowing down the progression of their developing romance. <br/><br/>This was a cute, contemporary twist on Disney's Tangled, with all the CLo charm. Now you must excuse me to go watch Tangled now for the first time. :)"
