This book is about instalove, I wound up completely cherishing the relationship. I will say three things. To begin with, they don't fall in love they see the likelihood that they could. I think seeing the likelihood of a future is an undeniable thing. There's a Japanese expression that I liked: "Koi no yokan. It doesn't mean love at first sight. It's closer to love at second sight. It's the feeling when you meet someone that you're going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don't love them right away, but it's inevitable that you will." Secondly, it's written well. Their relationship is simply so delicate? It's sweet, in that way first love is, and it's steady, in that way great love is. What's more, they get down on one another about their issues. But I didn't generally relate with Natasha and Daniel's relationship in the initial hundred pages not until I associated with their characters. But towards the end? There is a REASON I wailed Genuine TEARS while perusing this book. But romance isn't what this book is only about. The genuine focal point of the book, rather, is on the issues looked by immigrants. On one hand, we have Natasha, a science young lady and an illicit worker from Jamaica who is being deported by the day's end after her dad has been caught. Then again, we have Daniel, a child of South Korean immigrants whose family needs him to become a doctor but who needs his own life as a poet. The third thing about the story i loved the most is that the theme shows itself throughout the novel, Natasha and Daniel make the ends of an identity range Natasha is levelheaded, logical, and legitimate to say the least.

while Daniel is a hopeless romantic and a writer. By investigating how Natasha and Daniel use what they gained from one another through the span of their one day together in New York to add all the more significance and satisfaction to their lives, the novel recommends that passion and reason don't need to be rivals, as Natasha at first assumes or maybe, the novel proposes that it's satisfying and effective to strike a cheerful medium between the two. Further, the novel demonstrates that while reason completely has its place, having passion is significant and can at times be life-sparing. As Daniel and Natasha find out about one another throughout the novel they grow as people, Natasha is the person who experiences the most emotional changes. Daniel instructs her that passion shouldn't be a malicious, ruinous thing, which drives her to both ask that her dad invest more energy to seek after his passion just as she finds her own (physics). When Irene, the airline steward, and storyteller of the epilogue, take note of what the grown-up Natasha has colored pink tips on her hair, it proposes that Natasha started following her dream and accepted those frivolous and non-important things can make her happy, dying her hair pink is something she admitted to Daniel that she was keen on doing during their day in New York. In spite of the fact that the novel doesn't state through and through what Daniel moves toward becoming in adulthood, he rejects his dad's desires for him to be a doctor and gets an English degree from Hunter College, which doesn't justify a spot on his parents' list of "best schools." He additionally doesn't appear to look like the poet, per Irene's depiction of him. Thusly, the novel permits both Natasha and Daniel to find a glad medium among passion and reason a middle that enables both to discover satisfaction and fulfillment.
