4.5 stars: This book was so good! I love the way Nicola Yoon writes, it is very smooth nd easy to read. The whole concept of this book is just so intriguing and the scientific aspect she brings into it really enhances it and makes it seem less "love at first sight". Irene's ending makes me so happy, even though she is a minor character. It is so great to know that such a small act can make the world to someone. I was trying to predict the ending and didn't like the options I thought were going to happen, so I was nervous but the way Nicola Yoon ended it was perfect. Such a great epilogue!!!

This was a cutesy novel about two teens coming to terms of their own definition of fate, destiny and what love truly is. I liked it mostly because it didn't end the way most lone standing novels do. Great quotes that I can take away, though.

Let me start by saying that I was actually really interested in this book, the premise sounded pretty interesting to me, and I love reading about more diverse people. I think this book had some really great moments, but they were out shined by all the problems. The biggest one being, for me, was that almost all the characters were so unlikable. The only one I truly cared about was Daniel, and when you're trying to have a cute love story, that's not a good thing. I also don't care for love stories that happen too fast, I feel that you can't truly fall in love with someone if you barely even know them.

lmao. it’s been two mins & i’ve changed my mind. it’s getting a 3. i liked the short chapters/switches in POV. and i really do understand what nicola yoon wanted this book to be. it just didnt quite get there for me. i’ve seen some 2 star reviews about clumsy handling of some of the themes, and i agree. but i also think for a YA book under 400 pages, she did well? i haven’t read everything, everything nor will i because i don’t like books centred around sickness. but i do understand why people love this book. i just didn’t. i liked it, didn’t like the ending. and fuck that lawyer. truly.

Such a cute and amazing read 🥹🥹 I almost cried, ngl. I love stories about destiny, and “coincidences”, and woven storylines. I feel like this book did that very well.

I really enjoyed this novel, I felt that the character dynamics and romantic aspect was done well but the story did not hold my attention as well as other novels like it, might just be a result of my mood though, still a lovely story.

Loved this! Loved the characters and the way the universe kept giving you side notes. Really wonderful. Looking forward to reading more by Yoon.
