The Sun Is Also a Star
by Nicola Yoon
I was so skeptical about this book because it was so hyped up and I was reading it I wasn't feeling the greatness everyone had been saying it had. But, the last 40+ pages blew me away. This was a beautiful, heart-wrenching story about love at first sight and your first love.
The Sun is Also A Star follows the first meeting of Natasha and Daniel who have a very important day ahead of themselves. Natasha is trying to get her deportation appealed so her and her family won't get deported back to Jamaica, her birthplace. For Daniel, he is going on an interview for Yale.
Daniel is convinced that he and Natasha are soulmates and "meant-to-be" whereas Natasha does not. There is some insta-love in this story, but it is to be expected since this is a romance set within a day.
Diversity is key in this story; Daniel is Korean American and Natasha is Jamaican (just like Nicola and her husband!). Daniel especially deals with harsh remarks from his jerk of a brother, Charlie and his father who wants him to marry a Korean girl.
If you're skeptical, I recommend to read until the very end because you'll be very impressed with the ending of this book.
