I would of gave it higher but I couldn't. I just couldn't love this book. Yes there are some good parts but overall it's for people who are hopeless romantic and believe in love at first sight and that just isn't me.

This book is too cheesy and unrealistic. Daniel believes him and Natasha are 'meant to be' and that she is The One for him but how can someone know that without actually knowing the person? Furthermore, Daniel is quite literally obsessed with her. He follows her into a music store then follows her out... sounds like a stalker to me.

I never understood the chemistry between Natasha and Daniel, there was just none. They are a pair of star-crossed lovers, they know they are doomed from the beginning but yet they proceed to fall in love.

Another thing I disliked was the pointless chapter perspectives. Why do I want two chapters on hair, one about eyes, one about the security guard and countless of other things? These things wasn't relevant to the story or the plot. They simply existed for no purpose.

In my opinion, the last quarter of the book was good the other three quarters was slow and I wanted to put the book down so many times and never pick it up again. But I forced myself to finish.

This book isn't for me but if you love insta-love then this book is for you.
