One word- Earth-shattering.
This book was so good. And I know I say that to most of the books that I have read, but this is now in my list of favourites. It made me question life and every moment leading up to now. And I don't play favourites with authors as well but I will for Nicola Yoon.
Set in a modern day New York City; the tale centers around a Jamaican born Natasha who is being deported and Korean- American Daniel who has just been introduced to his parents desires and expectations for him- something he clearly doesn't want.
Natasha bases her life on science and facts; categorising everything into black or white, while Daniel is a poet who sees the world as a vibrant, "anything can happen" kind of way.
He is captivated by Natasha and spends what is quite possibly her last day in America trying to prove to her that one can fall in love in an instant and it can last forever.
The story is supported by several important topics like racism, issues faced by immigrants, the toll that parents's expectations takes on a child's mental health and suicide. It also highlights the importance to taking time to value people, which I think is a lesson we all should incorporate in our life.
The Sun Is Also A Star gets a definite ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 from me.
