“Maybe part of falling in love with someone else is also falling in love with yourself.”

I really liked this a lot and it made me very happy, even with that bittersweet ending! I wasn’t sure if I was in the mood for a contemporary when I picked this up, but oh boy—I was hooked within the first few chapters. I thought the writing style was SO intriguing and creative! The chapters are super short and everything moves really quickly, and it was just what I needed. I was just able to breeze through in a few hours and now I am happy.

Again, I just thought that the way this book was constructed was super cool. There’s really no time wasted with the way Yoon introduces us to both characters; I enjoyed both POVs, and there were multiple times I laughed out loud (mostly at Daniel). He’s such a goofball. I really liked how we’re introduced to each of their families and the roles they played in the book. It was so fun to have so many different storylines intertwining simultaneously. It was super hard to put this down (which I only did once) because it’s so cool to see the way everything connects with each new chapter.

I’m glad Yoon didn’t shy away from the bittersweetness of the ending. It was more realistic and enjoyable to see how Natasha and Daniel’s lives played out with the cards they were dealt. In the end, I would probably rate this more of a 4.5ish, just because there were some parts of the romance that seemed far-fetched and a bit too cheesy for my taste, but I get that it was necessary for the overarching themes of the book. I’m really glad I picked this up, and I’ll definitely look for more from this author in the future!
