The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
5.0
I picked up this book because a fellow bookworm with discerning tastes described this as a "near perfect YA novel." This was not an overstatement.
Half way through this book I knew that, baring some epic decline in the second half, A Sun Is Also A Star would be added to my top 10 list of favorite YA novels.
This book is beautifully written, intelligent and real. It makes you laugh out loud but is also thought provoking. It makes me remember what it was to fall in love and forces me to analyze that love through the lens of both science and faith. It indeed is a near perfect YA novel.

Oh, how I love this book! It is endearing, well written & lovely.
The perfect mix of sci-fi & young adult literature! The storyline is complex and the characters well formed. It was an amazing journey to embark on.

The Last Girl by Joe Hart

Depressing, verbose, with a story-line that does not pull in the reader.
