The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
5.0
this book was exceptional good, I loved almost everything about it!
first of all: the characters are not people I usually read about, it’s not often I find a book where there both are a Korean and a African character in. they are described in a way where I actually can imagine me them stand in front of me, they are described in a way where they aren’t described more beautiful or handsome like the rest of us, they are described from a lovers perspective where everything about them is beautiful and real.
what I loved most about this story, is that they talk so much about dimensions and ‘what if’ questions.
and god, the times I have taken myself in shouting because they almost see each other or they almost end up together!
the end left me with hope, because god that book have taken my hopes away and given it back, so many times that I can’t count it. but I was so hopeful when it ended, I had the feeling that we all eventually will end up with ‘the one’, the one we are meant to end up with!
