The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
4.0
"What if I told you I could get you to fall in love with me scientifically?"
"I would scoff," I say. "A lot."
The Sun is Also a Star is the story of Natasha and Daniel and the probability of falling in love. Daniel decides that the universe was the reason that him and Natasha met, and that they were soulmates destined to fall in love. Natasha believes it was coincidence. She doesn't believe in soulmates or loving someone for the rest of your life. And she certainly wasn't in the mood for fall in love with a boy she just met when her whole family is getting deported to Jamaica in a few hours. Perhaps the universe has other plans.
Natasha and Daniel's story was the cutest thing ever. I loved Daniels persistence, and Natasha's stubbornness. She believes in science, he believes in fate.
"I don't believe in love."
"It's not a religion." He says. "It exists whether you believe in it or not."
Daniel is a bit too hopelessly in love, and Natasha is a bit too much of a cynic which makes for a great story when they meet each other in the middle.
The writing is lyrical. Not only do we get points of views from Daniel and Natasha, but we also get to hear from the history or Irie, the quantum history of multiverses, the african american history of hair, and some of the people who's lives interacted in some with with our two protagonists. So not only did I read a cute love story, but I learned.
I alway have an issue with the ending with it comes to Nicola Yoon's books though. They never seem to satisfy me.
