Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true.

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? *** Beautifully crafted. –People A book that is very much about the many factors that affect falling in love, as much as it is about the very act itself. . . .
