A poet and a scientist meet through fate to spend one day together falling in love. One of my favorite things about this book is that they have extra chapters sprinkled through that explain the science behind an idea or the life of a NPC that the main characters encounter. Everything is important and all the people you encounter have their own story too.

Another great book from Nicola Yoon. Lighthearted, kind of cheesy but also a really cute romance book :)

Wow. I love their romantic relationship and the side characters' story, plus the chapters are short. I HOPE YOU SEE THIS, ACCORDING TO MOST OF THE COMMENTS HERE, THEY SAY THIS BOOK HAS A BS ENDING. IT DOES NOT, READ THE EPILOGUE PLEASE.😭😭😭
