Honestly,the first time I found about this book is when the movie trailer came out. I watched it and fell in love with the idea of the movie. I did know not that it was based on a book. When I found out,I searched for it. The plot follows a girl named Natasha Kingsley whose family comes from Jamaica and is undocummented and based in New York. She and her family will be deported in less than 24 hours all because of a mistake her dad made. She wants to stop the deportation because New York is her home and does not want to go back to Jamaica to live with their family,learn the jamaican accent and lose her friend. She goes to the immigration office which later sends her to attorney Fitzgerald. He says that he will do everything he can and that he has seen many cases like hers. She is hopeful but that is not the only thing that will happen that day. Daniel Bae (oh,what a bae!) is an 18-year-old boy with Korean descent. His parents own a Black Hair Care shop and want for their sons to be more than just shop owners. They want him to be a doctor and Daniel has an interview for Yale that day. In the subway he sees Natasha who wears a Deus Ex Machina jacket and wants to find out who she is. He thinks it was destinity that he saw her. She was almost hit by a car but he saves her life. She is a person who believes in facts and science while Daniel is a day-dreamer,hopeless romantic who wants to convince her that it is possible to fall in love with a person in just one day. They fall in love with eachother and Natasha hides her secret because she cannot bare to tell him the truth. During a fight she tells her secret. Not to spoil everything,you have to find about what happened in the end by reading this amazing book! Like Daniel,I am a hopeless romantic,poetry lover and day dreamer. I am in love with the idea of falling in love and that is why this book caught my eye in the first place. I was mesmerzied by the way how Nicola Yoon managed to merge two different people from completely different worlds to fall in love with one another. She herself said that it is possible to fall in love with a person in just one day and so do I! Natasha is stubborn and fierce while Daniel is passionate and hopeful. I love the idea how different they are and how they manage to fall for each other. This book proves that the most important ingredients for love are compassion,friendship and understanding. Daniel makes Natasha fall in love with the written word and make her dream about impossible things while Natasha teaches him how to fall in love with the universe and its hidden secrets. This book tells us that there is something great in store for us and that it comes in sometimes different and weird ways. Forever may be a day,week,year or a life time. Their is a legend I Greek mythology that says that they were creatures with two pairs of eyes,legs,ears,arms and two heads. Zeus was afraid of their power and parted them. Their powers would be united only if they found the way to one another again. That is what Natasha and Daniel did. They found their way to one another despite the difficluties and brought the best and truest selves by loving each other. Daniel chose his love for poetry and Natasha her passion and love for astronomy. Soulmates bring the best out of us.
