What can I say? I absolutely loved this book! I sat and read it within one sitting because I just couldn't put the book down. At. All!
I mean, who doesn't love a story of people just missing each other by seconds and minutes sometimes, of a love story that would be the story of the ages.
Just how many times have you been on a train or bus and you've spotted someone that you have seen countless times but have always been too scared or nervous to approach and talk to? It happens more often than not, but it's always an amazing thing when you see two people connect over a near miss and to see how their friendship and romance would unroll over time.
So when we follow Nadia and Daniel's whirl wind adventure of missed connections and newspaper messages, we are taken on a wild ride of happiness and joy and anger and more again.
REading it, I was laughing along with the characters and feeling the heartache they felt. Despite being over 350 pages, it doesn't feel like a big chunk of novel. You get drawn in to to the world of Nadia and her friends, of Daniel's life in dealing with the death of his father and seeing Nadia for the first time during his moment of grief. It's a romance that doesn't feel like a romance, a unconventional way of meeting and seeing each other without really knowing that that person is the person that you have been writing to in the newspaper.
The whole story is light and easy to read, the authors wording is spot on that doesn't make anything feel heavy or long winded. You get enough glimpses in to each characters background that you come to feel like you know them personally, that you're right along side them throughout everything from their jobs to the minutes of missing each other on their first date.
For someone who doesn't really read romances, I adored this novel with all my heart, it's quick witted, laughable in places with the comments that are spoken by the characters. IT was easy to read and fall down the warren that is story telling. I really would recommend everyone to read this book, whether or not they enjoy romances.
