4/5 ⭐️

I read Everything Everything before this one but this is certainly better.
The story follows two characters, Natasha and Daniel: they spend the day together even if Natasha is going to be deported the same night.

What I liked:

• The characters where really a surprise for me: Natasha was cynical and Daniel a constant daydreamer. In most books, the roles are reversed but I really loved how the two of them were built.
I also enjoyed the secondary characters, in particular the one we never had a point of view like Charlie but also the parents of Daniel (yeah, they had points of view I know!)

• The plot was easy: they met very randomly and they kinda fall in love. It was nice and easy and I appreciate very much simply because there was more to that. I feel the plot was not as important as the characters and I loved that. Many things happened but they happen so we can know the characters better. Loved that.

• The setting has a special place in my heart because I’ve been to New York and I didn’t enjoyed my staying. However, reading about all these places I’ve been and also I’ve not been is fantastic. I think I have enjoyed NY by paper so much better.

• The culture in the book is very important: Daniel is Korean and Natasha is Jamaican. I have little knowledge of both cultures and places however the book give such an interesting insight to both.
We got to know even little facts about the cultures and even if some things are slightly stereotypical, I didn’t mind that much because I was hooked into the story.


What I didn’t like:

— The romance was okay but I felt, going to the end of the book, that was too much. I felt like the character of Natasha was a little ruined because of this.

— The epilogue: I’m just gonna say was too much fairy taley however it was perfect for the book.
