It was a cute book. I found it hard though to connect to the characters as much as I do with other books. I loved the multiple povs with Natasha and Daniel; but also with seemingly random and unimportant people for a page or two. It shows how much a small interaction can change someone’s day or life. Going back to me not connecting with characters, I think it’s because of how the author showed their personality traits and beliefs; Natasha specifically. It’s said she doesn’t believe in love or fate or things happening for a reason. Instead she believes that everything has a scientific explanation. And that is extremely valid, but she brings it up in every conversation and every time the book switches to her POV. So it gets really annoying and repetitive and makes it hard to like her character. The only other main thing that made me rate this book 3.5 was the idea of fate. Daniel believes in fate and it’s obvious the author does too, or at least favors it in this book. But the amount of fate and things happening for a deeper reason in this book make it really unrealistic. So many small things that the average person won’t remember some how become these big events in the end. And yeah, sometimes these seemingly coincidental events happen, but in the book these events happened more in one day than probably an average persons lifetime, making it really hard to relate to the story and making it less believable
