Holy Mother of God! I don't know where to begin with this one. I didn't even realize I was gliding through the pages and no sooner the book was over. I cannot explain the number of times I have thought about the same things that Yoon talks about through Daniel and Natasha.

All I know is that everyone HAS to read this book. HAS to. Because I don't know how an author can fit so much maturity and depth in a YA novel of two seventeen-year-old people. This one was magic. And even though I have read more that 3/4th of it in a day, I feel I have lived with the book since a while. Damn you, Yoon. Damn you for becoming my utterly new favorite YA author on the board.

This reminded me of one of my faves– Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. Not sure it could top that but I loved the interspersed chapters of minor characters showcasing our universal connection, fate, and life's infinite possibilities.

I enjoyed the switching narrators in this book, oddly enough. A bit like Serendipity, but for teens from families that immigrated to America and were a little messed up. Lovely, quick and escapist.

Not the best book I've ever read, but an easy and lighthearted read.

Oh. My. God. This book was beautiful. The writing is spectacular and I love the style she used in writing this book. This story will take you across the gamut of emotions--you will laugh, cry, and everything in between. Nicola Yoon might be my new favorite author and she is getting better with each book. I loved Everything, Everything, but this is on a whole other level. Can't wait to see what she comes out with next.
