The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
5.0
"According to multiverses theory, Every version of our past and future histories exists, just in an alternate universe. For every event at the quantum level, the current universe splits into multiple universes".
The Sun Is Also A Star has easily become one of my favorite Ya books cute, heartwarming, heartwrenching, and all around beautiful is how I can best sum up this book.
We have Daniel who is a hopeless romantic through and through and we have Natasha who can be described as a realist, combined that with the Butterfly Affectesch Parrales and storylines you have one amazing book. I see and connected so much of myself with both these characters, You cannot help but give Daniel so much praise for the way he looks at the world. I think so many of us can resonate with having a parent or someone we look up to having expectations of us that we don't want or care to pursue, But we feel we can never voice our true wants and desires without hurting that person or having our admirations dismissed.
I also see a lot of myself in Natasha while yes I am a hopeless romantic through and through like Daniel it's hard not be a realist at times and take things at face value and in a matter of fact type of mindset.
When Natasha describes hair and how it's so personal especially her afro and how her mom said it's not "professional" It speaks volumes on how people in your own community and how society views hair and other aspects of whats naturally in others cultures.
Natasha has a very complicated relationship with her father, to say the least, I believe the main reason she "despises" him is not for his DUI entirely but as she has gotten older she started to see her fathers faults and when we are young we are all guilty of holding our parents on this intensely high pedestal(s) and look at them like gods so as we get older we realize our parents are human too its like losing a part of you almost like losing your faith.
I don't know what exactly my expectations were when I was first starting this book but Nicola Yoon did something absolutely beautiful from the changing of point of views to the Butterfly Affectsch/Parallel universe nature of this book everything was done so beautifully even the minor side stories of the other characters were done seamlessly. The only minor detail critique I could possibly give is what made Charlie the way he was? If he were to be born and raised in Korea would he have turned out differently? What was the event that caused Daniel and Natasha to be on that exact flight at that moment?
The Sun Is Also A Star made me smile, Laugh, cry and reflect on life and theory throughout the entire book Nicola Yoon truly created a masterpiece.
So here’s a little list of songs that made me think of Daniel and Natasha that literally, no one asked for.
Goodbye-Cage the Elephant
The few Things-JP Saxe
Livewire-Oh Wonder
FallingForYou-The 1975
Berlin-Ry X
Santa Monica Dream-Angus & Julia Stone
