A review by sassenachthebookwizard
The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

5.0

I am not a big reader of the contemporary genre of books...but the topics touched upon in this book are so prevelent to 2017 and so important to be aware of. I am very priviledge to have been born in Canada and have roots in my country going back to early settlement and Acadian history--I don't know what it's like to deal with racism and immigration and the reasons behind the decisions people make. I pride myself on being a liberal and open person and someone who listens to those who have experienced what I haven't...but this book still gave me a very new perspective of legal and illegal immigration and the toll it takes on a family...but also the butterfly effect--my actions cause other actions and situations (good and bad).

This book was just really well done and I am very excited to read Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon too.
