The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

4.0

Definitely young adult and I'm not the target audience. I definitely liked the stories of immigration and what it's like being first generation vs second generation American, how difficult being undocumented would be. It's a stretch to get to "I love you" in 12 hrs, but that said, I did feel the chemistry between them. I didn't love the detours into other people's history/future or factoids. They were interesting (esp Korean owned black hair shops - a lot like Vietnamese nail salons) facts, but they had a strange tone and took me out of the flow. So, the writing was pretty basic, fast read. It's a young version of Before Sunrise.
