Bookroo's summary

Natasha, a science-minded realist, faces deportation in hours. Daniel, a dreamer bound by family expectations, believes fate brought them together. As their worlds collide on a New York street, they must navigate love, destiny, and the universe's plans. Can they change their future in a single day?

From the publisher

Now a major motion picture starring Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton! The #1 New York Times bestseller and National Book Award Finalist from the bestselling author of Everything, Everything will have you falling in love with Natasha and Daniel as they fall in love with each other. Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story. Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store–for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true? * The #1 New York Times Bestseller A National Book Award FinalistA 2017 Michael L.
