This is cute, I guess, but I really don’t love the books where they fall head over heels in a singular day. It just feels very unrealistic and slightly disconcerting how quickly they fall in love. I know it’s the whole juxtaposition of a girl who doesn’t think she can love, falling in love, but still it’s just like ..what? 
It’s also just so unbelievable that it’s not even enjoyable. It just feels like it’s trying so hard to be connected in the plot that it’s trying too hard and it is just not enjoyable. It’s just doing too much and not enough at the same time

I loved the way this book was structured - it was an interesting concept having chapters to gain an insight into the lives of somewhat random characters or a brief history on some events. However I found the actual love story a bit weak and cringey. It’s a good if you are in the mood for a quick, lighthearted love story.
Maybe there is such thing as “love at first sight”…

inspiring lighthearted reflective

3.5

CW/TW: Racism, infidelity, deportation, sexual content
Age Rating: 13+

- I liked the writing style. It helped give context.
- So many pov's it could get distracting. A lot of them one-offs to give context to the situation.
- Chapters are short
- The characters were okay. I wasn't particularly attached to anyone, but I REALLY didn't like Daniel's brother.
- I don't really have any strong opinions on this book
