What a beautifully heartbreaking story. Holy cow. I’ve had this book on the shelf for forever and finally got around to reading it. I cannot believe I waited so long — this book is one that will stick with me for a long time. I loved Daniel and Natasha. I loved that the entire book takes place over the course of a single day. I loved that the author included so many other unique perspectives to tell the story of first love and heartbreak. I loved that the author tackled big topics like race, philosophy, and science in a way that felt informative, artistic, and entertaining all at the same time. I will definitely be recommending this to people who enjoy romances with substance. I also will be thinking about that ending and wondering what could be. How I wish there was a sequel or at least an epilogue to the epilogue!
