A moving and suspenseful portrayal of a fleeting relationship. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of every character she introduces, Yoon ( Everything, Everything) weaves an intricate web of threads connecting strangers as she delves into the personal histories of her protagonists, as well as the emotions and conflicts of others who cross their paths. Drawn together, separated, and converging again, both teens recognize with startling clarity that they are falling in love. It’s the first of many significant moments that occur as Natasha desperately seeks aid to stay in America and Daniel prepares for a college interview with a Yale alum. The teens’ eventful day begins at a New York City record store, where they see someone shoplifting.
Is it fate or chance that brings people together? This is the question posed in this impressively multilayered tale of a one-day romance featuring practical Natasha, whose family is facing deportation to Jamaica, and Daniel, a first-generation Korean American with a poet’s sensibility.
