"Sometimes fate is ugly. Life can be twisted. And who we are can be ruined by who we once were. For two people who had survived so much, we would have to learn how to hold on before we were forced to let go." 
 Imogen Conner runs away from home for being neglected by her mother. Being homeless isn't easy especially at a young age. She's lost, hungry, vulnerable and trying to survive. When she was in danger, Yossarian Frazier who is a homeless boy that saved her life. Meeting him means so much to her, they became friends and he's always been protective on her. They fell in love and it went on for months. What they've been through isn't easy, especially for Yoss. Imi has ambitions in life and living this kind of lifestyle isn't for her. She includes Yoss in her future and encourages him to be with her to start a new life. Unfortunately, they part ways when he didn't show up on their meeting place as promised and it breaks Imi's (Imogen) heart. 
 15 years later..

By some fate, she and Yoss meet again in the worst situation. After all this time, she still loves him for the way he is. He's still her Yoss. This is her chance to get answers from him and bring him back to her life even if time is actually running out.. Will they have their one day soon or will it be the one day soon they never have? 
 "A happy story doesn't always have a happy ending." 
 A. Meredith Walters is one of the most underrated New Adult authors who writes deep, thought provoking and emotional stories (I've read Butterfly Dreams and it's amazing). One Day Soon greatly tackles different issues especially about the struggles and unfair treatment of homeless people. I find it raw and realistic. Each chapter gives you heavy feels and I didn't expect it to be this emotional. My handkerchief was soaked and my eyes were puffy from sobbing so hard. It took me days to organize my thoughts and write a full review about it. I just need time to recover from all the feels. Imi and Yoss's love story is beautiful and touching. Their character developments are wonderfully developed and maturely handled difficult situations. Goodness, I love Yoss so much. He's such a thoughtful, caring, lovely and selfless man. I also love Imi for the unconditional love for him and accepts for what he is. I have so much respect for her. The epilogue made me bawled more like a baby. After reading consecutive emotional books, all I need is a happy book, a pillow to hug and a pint of ice cream to devour. 
 I read this book with the lovely ladies of #NALitLoversPH #NewAdultandBeyondPH readalong.
