"Natasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story.
Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store- for both of us.
The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?"
My Rating: 4.5/5
I thought that I wouldn't like this. I felt like the whole presence just really brings out a cliche I don't always care for. And that's the love at first sight or instalove. And in some ways it is. But this book is about more than the romance, it's about the coincidences or things that happen to get us where we are. It's about "fate" or "multiverses" that are possible other than the track we are on. That being said we don't explore the multiverses that could have been we only know the track our main characters are now. Just as it is in life. Don't misunderstand I'm still a cynical twenty-four-year-old, but this, this book really got me.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
