I really enjoyed this book. Particularly how it bounced between narrators but also focused in on people that they just glanced upon and how profound their lives were + the impact we have on others without even knowing it. I’m not sure if I’d read again which is why I gave it 4 stars but I enjoyed diving into Natasha and Daniel’s story.

I have had this book on my mental TBR for since shortly after it came out. But of course with a book like this, timing is everything. My god this is a beautiful little story. It literally took my breath away.

I don’t like love at first sight stories. If I had know this would be one I wouldn’t have bought it. I have no idea how this entire book takes place in just one. It takes skill to drag out a book that long. The chapters were quite short, which is something I don’t particularly like.

I don’t know how Natasha didn’t think Daniel was a stalker. If I meet someone three different times in a short timespan, I’d start to suspect that he’s following me. He also acted like he was entitled to her time because he saved her from being hit by a car. It was a nice deed of him to do that, but that doesn’t mean she has to humor you. Daniel was quite pushy as well. She literally only entertained his impoliteness just because he had a ponytail. The romance between them felt so unrealistic. You don’t fall in love with someone you just met. I didn’t really find the other characters’ viewpoints interesting. I can’t believe Natasha and her family were deported just because the lawyer couldn’t keep it in his pants. You ruined a family’s lives just to screw your secretary. The universe “keeping them together” just felt like plot convenience to me, especially at the end in the plane. I was starting to feel glad it might’ve ended on a realistic note (them growing apart because they only knew each other for ONE day), but oh my gosh! They were actually on the same flight and got to meet each other again!

I didn’t find it worth reading.

Daniel’s brother is racist and sexist, and their father is racially insensitive.
