The thing about falling is you don’t have any control on your way down.
This is ridiculously charming and fast paced and lovely and I can’t believe I waited so long to read it (but I know why I was reluctant) and I can’t believe Yoon hasn’t written anything else!! Why do you make us wait for more goodness, Ms Yoon??
I was reluctant to read this because I found Everything, Everything perfectly digestible but a bit too silly and the ending was awful. I wasn’t sure if the author was capable of a ...more
DNF at 20%, not my cup of tea.
Really enjoyed this one. I love the research Yoon puts into her books and her style of writing. Can’t wait to read more of her books.

Nicola Yoon's books are so easy to inhale. Neither took me more than 48 hours to read. Partially it's because of the structure - short chapters, epistolary form in the shape of text messages, etc - but partially it's because of how fast the plots move. This one is the story of Natasha and Daniel, who meet and fall in love over the course of Natasha's last day in New York before she is to be deported with her family to Jamaica, where she has not lived since she was a very young child.

3 1/2. Natasha's the thinker and Daniel's the dreamer. They meet one afternoon when both their lives are at important crossroads. Daniel falls in love at first sight...and Natasha...not so much.

This was fantastic. I loved the readers, I loved the story, and I loved the format. I was enthralled by the use of omniscient narrator here, and it worked really well. I was also pretty amazed that the author was able to write from such varied perspectives so very convincingly. Great audiobook.
Beautiful, gorgeous book!! A sweet and amazing love story!
