The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon was just as magical and heartfelt as I was expecting, if not more. I love the way that Nicola Yoon can build such deep emotions in such short times and this book is no exception. I love the unique approaches to love that Yoon takes, and the scientific approach made me laugh and smile throughout the day we are with our characters. I’m definitely a believer in love at first sight like Daniel, and to see him follow his heart 100% struck the hopeless romantic in me. I’m usually not a fan of strictly romance stories, but I think that Yoon uses this romance to bring up a lot of other important points including immigration, discrimination, and how we are all connected in one way or another. Our choices matter and effect others, which I think is a huge part of why this story was so moving, even outside of the romance. I really loved this novel, and I think it’s well worth the read!

I don’t like love at first sight stories. If I had know this would be one I wouldn’t have bought it. I have no idea how this entire book takes place in just one. It takes skill to drag out a book that long. The chapters were quite short, which is something I don’t particularly like.

I don’t know how Natasha didn’t think Daniel was a stalker. If I meet someone three different times in a short timespan, I’d start to suspect that he’s following me. He also acted like he was entitled to her time because he saved her from being hit by a car. It was a nice deed of him to do that, but that doesn’t mean she has to humor you. Daniel was quite pushy as well. She literally only entertained his impoliteness just because he had a ponytail. The romance between them felt so unrealistic. You don’t fall in love with someone you just met. I didn’t really find the other characters’ viewpoints interesting. I can’t believe Natasha and her family were deported just because the lawyer couldn’t keep it in his pants. You ruined a family’s lives just to screw your secretary. The universe “keeping them together” just felt like plot convenience to me, especially at the end in the plane. I was starting to feel glad it might’ve ended on a realistic note (them growing apart because they only knew each other for ONE day), but oh my gosh! They were actually on the same flight and got to meet each other again!

I didn’t find it worth reading.
