The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
4.5
I really enjoyed this book! Normally, I really hate insta-love but the way it was portrayed in this book almost didn’t seem insta-lovey. It felt very complex and real and beautiful.
I loved the writing style in this book. Something that was really interesting was getting to see other people’s point of views. There were chapters dedicated to side characters and just getting to hear the their story after a five minute interaction with Natasha or Daniel. This book really explores the idea that everything happens for a reason. Every person you’ve met can help lead you to do bigger things in life, no matter how small or insignificant the interaction was.
I think what solidified he book for me was the ending. The ending was so sad and heartbreaking when we got to see where each character ended up and what happened to everyone but also bringing back a character who seemed so insignificant but is now getting her story told in the end was just so beautiful and wonderful. I also like how it was an open ending. The ending sort of left the story to the readers interpretation of what happened after the very last line and I really like endings like that even though sometimes they kind of annoy me.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes contemporary books.
