Reviews with content warning for Suicidal thoughts - The Sun Is Also a Star

this book is pretty easy to get into cause it's got very short chapters. i loved the multi-povs, they gave a full story of what was happening behind the scenes. i saw the film, but was still utterly invested in daniel and natasha

This may be at my own fault for not fully knowing the plot (I went into this book blind), but about 1/4 of the way I realized we hadn’t had any time passing. Everything was about this one day and the whole story is minute by minute. It felt like it was dragging because of that, but in the end it won me back. Great story, balanced perfectly between funny and sad and heartfelt.

This book was amazing! It always kept me hooked, there was never a dull moment. The author kept in touch with the small details, even those that were from the very beginning of the story, which very much added depth to the story and made it 10x more enjoyable and interesting. I love all things art and all things science, so this book was a great read for me. 11/10!!!! 🫶🩷🩷

A poet and a scientist meet through fate to spend one day together falling in love. One of my favorite things about this book is that they have extra chapters sprinkled through that explain the science behind an idea or the life of a NPC that the main characters encounter. Everything is important and all the people you encounter have their own story too.

I really enjoyed this book. Particularly how it bounced between narrators but also focused in on people that they just glanced upon and how profound their lives were + the impact we have on others without even knowing it. I’m not sure if I’d read again which is why I gave it 4 stars but I enjoyed diving into Natasha and Daniel’s story.
