This was a quick and easy read, but it was deep and meaningful. It gave me a lot of insight into what it means to be an immigrant, especially the child of one, and feel like both and insider and outsider.

my favorite part of this book was how much I could relate to it, not only cuz it shows a real depiction of an interracial relationship but the complexity of love in all forms. I related so much to the family dynamics which is rare for me.
For writing- the craftwomanship really stands out. I love all the alternating POVs especially the third person omniscient. It was a good read all the way through- beginning middle and end.
I recommend this book for
- die hard romantics
- science nerds especially physics and astronomy
- a good corny time
- Adam Silvera Fans
- fate vs free will and alternate universe theories
- accepting your roots, the good and the bad
- lovers of 90s grunge
- relating to the diaspora and immigrant experience
- taking time to discuss how different minorities are connected which is so rare
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts
