This was cute middle grade romance! It reminded me a lot of my summers spent working at the local amusement park! I was always crushing on somebody and being the mascot was always the worst assignment!

This is a fun, lighthearted book. There are mentions of cancer and other family issues, but overall the book is light and cute. I will say at times, the dialogue didn’t feel like something a 2025 middle grader would say. For example, Coco makes a reference to M. Night Shyamalan. So I asked and several of my Gen Z coworkers were not familiar with who he was.

Overall, this is a fun, quick read! Perfect for Summer. I think middle grade readers will enjoy this cute book.

I so enjoyed the romance between Coco and Henry as their lives started to intertwine at Wonderland Amusement Park- or AMoosement Park! Definitely had some twist and turns to keep the reader locked in. Perfect romance for middle school- containing an appropriate amount of romance and great navigation of the emotional twist and turns. Enjoyed it!

Thank you NetGalley and team for this arc! It was a super cute read and enjoyable! Definitely aged for middle school, 12/13 year olds. But cute nonetheless for anyone wanting a sweet read.

this was super cute! i actually really enjoyed this even though the intended audience is probably around the 11-13 age range! i thought this was fun and lighthearted while still lightly touching on serious topics, ie., cancer, which is something that so many young kids are faced with daily and i think this book did a really good job at showing that. i thought coco was really funny and reminded me a lot of myself when i was about to go into high school. i think she was a super realistic teenager and a great fmc for this story! i also really liked henry and think he is also a perfect depiction of a young teenage boy! the way he reacted in situations is very realistic and we got to see him work through those reactions and overcome his inner struggles. i loved that this was dual pov and first person! it made for a really easy read that was very fast paced.

A DELIGHTFUL, FEEL-GOOD ESCAPE!

Fast-paced and romantic, you’ll root for Coco and Henry throughout Meet Me at Wonderland! I especially enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters, deftly written with riveting dual points-of-view. From their first hilariously awkward “meet-cute” to their banter, flirting, and heart-to-heart conversations, this super fun read brought me back to my first crush. DeVillers delivers the nostalgia and magical atmosphere in her theme park setting, as well as an insider look at what goes on behind the scenes. Whether you’re an adult or teen, this book is a satisfying joy to read! I’d love to find out what happens next for Coco and Henry. Maybe a sequel?

A cute and quick read about Coco, a 14-year-old who is working at her family's amusement park for the summer. The characters occasionally felt a bit immature for their age, but I think older middle-grade/younger YA readers will identify with the characters and enjoy the plot, writing, and plentiful moose puns. 4 stars.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Talk about the cutest meet cute or should I say “moose-cute”!? I’m 28 years old and found this to be such a cute and fun read so I know for a fact any teen would love this! It took my back to the nostalgia of going to amusement parks as a teen and made me want to re-experience being at that age. I loved the perspective from both main characters (usually my favorite romance books have both) and I was rooting for their love! And the playlist, I’m obssesed!!

Julia DeVillers is an amazing author and I loved all the ties to home mentioned.❤️

Take me to Wonderland! And PLEASE give us a relationship status update on Coco and Henry!! I’ll be the first to buy a time jump book, I have to know what happens next!

A cute, quick, and easy read! I loved the premise of a family amusement park as a setting and I think it works really well for a YA/ middle grade book! Super cute and fluffy vibes
