I had kind of a great time... i haven't read a romance in a while, especially in which the boy falls first and yearns. OMG the yearning, it was excellent although a little unrealistic at times. I'm a big optimist and even I, at times, was like man you're too much, stop! The end fazed me out a little, but I mean, it's realistic. The fact that the attorney could've prevented the deportation but he was with another woman ugh. I'm thinking it's a shame but also, what if it was for a reason? Natasha and her family really needed to go back to Jamaica and it has always been "the plan", the "fate". Even if it's not explored in details in the last chapter, there might have been a GOOD reason, right? that all of this happened? Or what if it didn't happen for a reason, and people just mess up and make mistakes, and that's okay too because like attorney Fitzergald said himself "do all the mess up while you still can". For instance, in this situation he is the one who made the mistake that cost Natasha to leave. But is there really a "time" to mess up? Teenagers, kids, adults, they all do and these decisions we take on a daily basis will always have an impact on others, whether we realize it or not. I really love the epilogue, even though it would have been EVEN better if the author gave us the context on why they both were on that plane. The entire book was about coincidences and the power of an invisible string. The fact we don't get an explanation on the flight they all ended up in but only the context of Irene's life shift, seems wrong. I love Irene though, it was a really nice touch to start off and finish the story with her perspective. Anyways, overall it is a cute love story but left me feeling unsatisfied. So many beautiful quotes and fun facts, and a big potential for an amazing cinematographic adaptation (i've just started the movie and they did not have the vision for the artistic direction, and they changed so many details i have a feeling i'll be disappointed... glad I read the book before watching!)
