As someone who loves to notice the coincidences in life (thanks, Kundera) that led me to big moments, I really loved this love story about teenagers from immigrant families. It's fast-paced with short interludes that enhance the main storyline. I related quite a lot to Daniel; I won't lie, I also cried a bit when I finished this novel on a plane.

And the books love of coincidences makes me note this: reading the book set in New York City while commuting in every day really enhanced the experience. From midtown scenes, which is where I work, to a scene on a subway platform that I read while on a subway platform, to one of the ending scenes takes place on a plane...which I read on a plane. A lovely read.
