When I Think of You by Myah Ariel

5.0

This book was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. This was a book about LOVE, Kaliya and Danny’s love, Danny’s parents love, his love for his parents, Danny and Kaliya’s love of movies. It was SO GOOD. It was also a story about grief, finding yourself, following your dreams and being able to change and grow and find your way. I loved this book so much.

I love a second chance SO MUCH. The flashbacks to film school were perfect, I loved having a look into where they began. Even when Kaliya would just be thinking about ‘this time when’ made it so clear how much they both loved each other so much. They found each other at the exact right time. For a while it was right, and then for a long time even after they found each other again it was just the right person wrong time and it HURT. 

I loved that when they met again it was like everything clicked back into place. Even though it wasn’t easy…the slow burn was worth it. The tension and the longing and the eventual confessions, reflections, and revelations were so worth it. Their communication was rough for a while, which made sense, they were both scared and there was so much on the line, even though they wanted answers and they wanted to talk about it.

I loved the ending so much. The epilogue specifically was perfect. I wish more than anything we could see the movie! Danny’s love for his parent’s and their love was so apparent. I cannot wait to see what else Myah Ariel does!!

Thank you so much to Berkley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
