“There’s no world I want to live in where I can accept that Violet is done with me. She’s it for me, always has been and always will be.”
Rating: 5/5⭐️
This is officially my favorite YA romance ever and one of my top books of the year so far. I can’t express enough how obsessed I am with Issac and Violet’s love story. This whole book had me smiling, giggling, kicking my feet, and screaming into my pillow out of sheer cuteness. Their romance is so sweet and pure. They pair so well together and you can really see and understand why they love each other.
Outside of just their romance, the rest of the book is also just perfect. I loved all of the side characters, Issac’s little sister and their friends and the little side romance between Luke and Jinhee. This also totally transported me back to senior year of high school with how accurately all the stress of college applications and such was written, and even though now I can look back and realize it wasn’t that big of a deal, this reminded me of all those feelings I had then. And for once, I loved the book playlist! I could see all the ways a bunch of my favorite songs fit into this and inspired little bits of it and I just loved it!
Premise: The Story of Us follows the love story of seventeen year olds Violet Ayaz and Isaac Evans during their last year before university. The two met when they were eleven on Violet’s first day at the boarding school they attend. What started as a friendship formed based on their shared birthday slowly grows into deeper feelings and a secret relationship. That is, until Issac misses their seventeenth birthday and then breaks Violet’s heart. After Violet spends the summer ignoring Issac’s attempts to talk, she is not thrilled when school starts up again and she gets stuck partnered with him on a project. Issac on the other hand, is ready to take this and any other opportunity he can to get Violet back. But with graduation looming ahead of them, they both have big decisions to make about their futures and whether or not those futures will involve each other.

Wholesome second chance romance
I don't even know how to put into words how much I loved Isaac and Violet's story! The last few chapters had me sobbing while my heart was bursting from all the happiness I felt for those two.Maéva VidalWholesome second chance romance

Zarin has written the most swoon-worthy MMC and I couldn't help but root for him. Isaac has the sweetest soul, he is such a romantic, and I loved how he made every moment with Violet feel special.
The Story Of Us brings us along the journey of Violet and Isaac navigating life back to school, after their unexpected breakup before the summer. The story starts a bit slow, it can be a bit frustrating to not know the reason for their breakup for a while, but we get snippets of the past, documenting the evolution of the two MCs' relationship, from friends to infatuated teenagers to secret boyfriend and girlfriend.
Their story is so beautiful, I'm a sucker for the "meant-to-be" kind of relationships and I think Zarin's writing has woven such a wonderful tale of two soulmates finding their way to each other.
I absolutely loved how their project ended up, it was totally the highlight of the book, and I wish it could truly be made into a short animated movie for us to see.
There was a lot of growth from the two MCs, it was such a pivotal year in their lives, being the last year before college, and navigating all that comes with it while adding parents and their expectations on top of the lasting effects of their heartbreak plus their healing and reconnecting with each other. It was a lot but they made the best of it.
