This is such a unique book! This author is known to me yet new to me. I have not read any of her books before. I love the different ethnic backgrounds of the two main characters and I love their opposed personalities...one a dreamer...one totally practical. Yet...when they meet they are so drawn to each other! Sparks fly!Readers who love quirky beautifully written books will love and cherish this one. It's an amazing book that wafts back and forth among many characters but the key players are Daniel and Natasha. Neither Daniel nor Natasha are in perfect places in their lives...one is leaving...one is staying...what will their outcome be?Again...this was a lovely little book that can easily be read in one sitting. It held my attention and anticipation the entire time.And again...a lovely, surprising, and mesmerizing book!
I have two problems with this book.The smaller problem is the format, which alternates between the hero and heroine, as each tells the story of their love, as it develops, between two young people, their families, their neighborhoods, their ethnicities. This quick alteration is a bit annoying, and it prevents the novel from building.The larger problem is that I found the relationship trite and insipid.Not interesting. Cliché?As these two face the layered cultural baggage each brings to the table, you start to feel like this is a modern, cosmopolitan after-school special. Not two real people, but two symbols and learning tools...If you own the romance, the book works, if not.... and not for me.
A beautiful story of love and how one day can change your entire life. Natasha is practical, Daniel is a poet. It makes no sense for them to fit together, but when they meet by chance neither of their lives will ever be the same, nor will the lives of those around them.I love how Yoon's writing flows, how she includes snippets of lesser characters within the narrative, and how it all works together to make a gorgeous story. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
