The Day We Met by Roxie Cooper
5.0

“You meet your fate in the road you take to avoid it.”

I don’t know where to start with this book. I’m an emotional mess after it, I don’t think I’ve cried so much over a novel before. It’s not even the deepest or heaviest of books, it’s just filled with so much love, wonder, and friendship; combined with every other emotional on the spectrum, I couldn’t hold back the tears.

No exaggeration: I cried on and off for about 8 hours thinking about this book after I finished it. I’m probably dehydrated.

This book touched my heart, everything about it was so eye opening and insightful. I felt like I got a realistic look into relationships, which romance novels don’t always provide. It was honest, but funny and incredibly entertaining.

I loved the idea of the book spanning over such a large amount of time, and each chapter shifts between Steph and Jamie. And the coolest part? The book comes with a playlist so you really feel like you’re part of the story.

From the first word the plot had me hooked. I don’t know if I can emotionally handle re-reading this, but it’s one that had a huge impact on me and my outlook on life.

It inspired me to love who I am, trust in my talents, chase my dreams, and never feel afraid to fall in love.
