I enjoyed this one a lot, maybe a touch more than Everything Everything. We meet Natasha, probably at the worst moment of her life. Her and her family are being deported from the US due to being undocumented Jamaican immigrants. 

We meet Daniel, about to emb on potentially the biggest day of his life, an entrance interview to a prestigious university. 

The narration flits between Natasha and Daniels POV, small snippets from other characters, along with chapters that explain words, and meanings that come up throughout the story. 

Natasha and Daniel don’t know one another and meet by chance, some would call fate, Natasha wouldn’t. Daniel would. What progresses is one of the most beautiful love stories I have read. I loved both the characters and their backgrounds and families were complex and relatable. 

I felt as if I was both Natasha and Daniel, agreeing and disagreeing at the different and same points throughout. 

The book was thoughtful, heartfelt, sad and in parts,happy.

I am definitely a Nicola Yoon fan and I can not wait to read more of her!
