This book was amazing! It always kept me hooked, there was never a dull moment. The author kept in touch with the small details, even those that were from the very beginning of the story, which very much added depth to the story and made it 10x more enjoyable and interesting. I love all things art and all things science, so this book was a great read for me. 11/10!!!! 🫶🩷🩷

This was a very sweet book. I thought it was absolutely insane for these characters to meet and basically fall in love for a day but at the same time I couldn’t help but root for those crazy kids. I liked the fast pacing and multiple POVs as well; it made for a nice, quick read.

I just couldn’t get invested in the characters. They seemed like caricatures of real people. Also, Daniel

joking about his behavior being creepy doesn’t fix that his behavior is creepy.

Self-awareness doesn’t make you immune to shittiness.

A poet and a scientist meet through fate to spend one day together falling in love. One of my favorite things about this book is that they have extra chapters sprinkled through that explain the science behind an idea or the life of a NPC that the main characters encounter. Everything is important and all the people you encounter have their own story too.

Another great book from Nicola Yoon. Lighthearted, kind of cheesy but also a really cute romance book :)
