Publisher Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • An all-encompassing, whirlwind romance that’s “beautifully crafted” (People) and “full of intelligence, understanding and hope” (Los Angeles Times)
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, BuzzFeed, PopSugar, Publishers Weekly, New York Public Library • A Kirkus Reviews Best Young Adult Book of the Century
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?

“This trio of narrators turns the alternating voices in this story into a terrific audio. Bahni Turpin…[and Raymond] Lee convincingly portray a building relationship that begins with a rebuff but by day’s end turns to love, and finally to heartbreak. Periodically, Dominic Hoffman interjects short commentary from other characters. His wide range of accents and tones portrays aspects of many characters in the past, present, and even the future. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award.”
