Is love scientific? Is it possible to fall in love in just one day?
2 people meet and fall in love, while the weight of their uncertain futures loom large. We follow Daniel and Natasha over the course of one day, in which the smallest occurrences butterfly effect into big life changes.
While this took a bit to get into, I really enjoyed this story. It is fast paced, taking place over one day. I loved the small chapters with story telling from the side characters or monologuing on concepts such as fate, eyes, and hair.
The book switches from Daniel and Natasha’s point of views at perfect moments which add to the pacing of the story.
Even though the characters are just 17 years old, the story doesn’t feel juvenile. While the characters feel naive and at times lack judgement, the expression of thought feels mature enough that anyone could enjoy this book.
If you love love, you will love this book!
