This book is adorable and I wish I had it when I was in my late teens/early 20s. Jessie and Ravi felt like realistic college students - it’s a true NA book when sometimes NA books just feel like 19 year olds who talk, act, and have sex like 30 year olds.
I think the best parts of this book were the letters and finding more about the star crossed lovers who disappeared in the tower fire, and the parallels between their love story and Jessie and Ravi. My only wish is that the side characters added more to the story - like I loved the convo between Ravi and his brother. I wish Tanvi had more to do, more resolution with Ravi and his parents.
I also absolutely loved Nisha’s authors not and dedication - you can tell the care that she put into this story.
This is a quick read perfect for new adult readers.
