The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
3.0
"But here is a true thing: Almost everything in the night sky gives off light. Even if we can’t see it, the light is still there."
I will give this book 3 out of 5 stars. So where do I start? Okay, I love the fact that two people with different nationality and race could fall in love with each other. Daniel is a full blooded Korean but was born in America and Natasha is a pure Jamaican who migrated in NYC when she was eight. I must admit that the pairing was quite unusual at first but then as the story goes on you kinda understand what they saw with each other and why they were so smitten with one another. There's nothing wrong with this book, it's perfect. It's just that I'm not a huge fan of contemporary and romance novels, I'm more of a High fantasy and Sci-fi reader so I never really quite committed myself with the characters of this story, that's the reason why I only gave it 3 stars.
I love how this book opens up the minds of the readers when it comes to racism. Who the fuck cares if you're black, Asian, African or American, we are all made of cells and will all just gonna die in the end, so what if instead of judging one another base on their physical appearance, we love one another instead. The world will be a better place then. This book was very realistic and that's one of the factors that I like about this novel. It shows us that we can never always get what we want and that sometimes, time is just what we need to find ourselves again. I know that Irene (the security guard) only have like two POVs but she's my favorite character so far because we must admit that if not for her, there'll be no Tasha and Daniel.
PS: Life gets better just make sure you're there to see it :)
