Its so good, The small chapters and the POV change threw me off at first, I’m not entirely a fan of how it changes from 1-person to 3-person, but the more I read the more I loved it, both a heartbreaking and romantic story! A definite favorite!
Really well written and quite easy to read, I flew through it.

Dieses Buch war ja mal so besonders. Wieso sind solche Bücher nicht Schullektüre? Ich bin der Meinung, dass es ein Buch ist, was von jedem gelesen werden sollte. Und geliebt, denn es war einfach nur großartig. Die Aufteilung der Kapitel und die eingeschobenen Erklärungen haben mir besonders gut gefallen. Auch, dass man ab und an die Sichtweisen der Nebencharaktere noch genauer kennengelernt hat. Aber Natasha und Daniel haben einfach den Hauptteil der Liebe für dieses Buch ausgemacht. So tolle Charaktere und einfach nur authentisch geschrieben. Ich kann nichts negatives über das Buch sagen und bin unfassbar froh es gelesen zu haben! Sehr große Leseempfehlung für jeden - Lesegeschmack ist hierbei egal, ich bin mir sicher es kann viele von sich überzeugen und begeistern!

The story is undeniably realistic, but also kind of not... Two people with nothing in common hit it off right away and fall in love in a day, then get separated and can never find the time to talk anymore. I do, however, love the little bits in there that have the histories and explanations of things, those were fun. And the story is written beautifully, funny and romantic and devastating and somehow always manages to keep you hooked. I have no idea how she wrote the book in the time frame she did, but she did and the execution? Wonderful.

this book was exceptional good, I loved almost everything about it!
first of all: the characters are not people I usually read about, it’s not often I find a book where there both are a Korean and a African character in. they are described in a way where I actually can imagine me them stand in front of me, they are described in a way where they aren’t described more beautiful or handsome like the rest of us, they are described from a lovers perspective where everything about them is beautiful and real.
what I loved most about this story, is that they talk so much about dimensions and ‘what if’ questions.
and god, the times I have taken myself in shouting because they almost see each other or they almost end up together!
the end left me with hope, because god that book have taken my hopes away and given it back, so many times that I can’t count it. but I was so hopeful when it ended, I had the feeling that we all eventually will end up with ‘the one’, the one we are meant to end up with!

Actual rating 4.25, this book was AMAZING!!! Nicola Yoon knows how to write in a way the makes you connect with the characters and their story on another level. Usually if a book has a horrible ending it loses stars for me but this books ending was amazing, like I got chills.

Maybe I’m too old for this because I found the premise insane. I did kind of enjoy the ending though

I had this book on my shelves for SO LONG! It's actually an ARC copy I got from a giveaway way back in 2016 and....crap this was so good and surprising and so much more than I thought it would be! It's hilarious, heartbreaking and lovely all at once.
