Summary: Daniel is on his way to interview for Yale to become a doctor-his parents' dream, not his. Natasha is desperately trying to find a way to prevent her family from being deported back to Jamaica. Neither is looking for love when they stumble into each other's lives--but it feels like fate may have other plans for them than they dreamed for themselves.
Review: I enjoyed this book quite a lot! I thought it was so interesting to read the 2 perspectives and all the little side notes and just the thought that went into each individual action and how it influenced the story as a whole. There was more language then I'm comfortable with.
Recommended for fans of: The Fault in Our Stars, Looking for Alaska, My Sister's Keeper
