The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
5.0
I kid you not, YA and Romance are some of my least favourite genres (don't hate me, I'm just more of a thrillers and serial killer kinda girl). But this book! ❤️❤️❤️
I don't know what there is to not love about this book! The Sun Is Also a Star is wholly fictional, but the dynamic between logical science and math geek Natasha and sweetly sincere and poetic Daniel is inspired by Jamaican American author Nicola Yoon's own romantic history with her Korean American husband, David.
Yoon alternates POVs between the two leads and occasionally inserts other perspectives from supporting characters who intersect with Daniel and Natasha during their time together. Those asides might have been a distraction, but they actually enhance and enrich the story and add layers to characterization. The side character POVs might just be the reason I loved this book on a wholly different level.
