The Sun Is Also A Star - Book Review
I am really starting to love Nicola Yoon's writing style after reading this and Everything, Everything. It is, simply put, a rather beautiful way of storytelling.
The story was honestly magical. It captured all the sweetness of young love, the kind that can make you believe in fate and destiny, yet keeps surprising you with doses of reality throughout.
The Sun Is Also A Star, unlike many other contemporary romances, is not a teenage fairytale. It's real.
And in reality, you do not always get what you asked for, despite your best efforts. Even if it's meant-to-be, it may not last forever.
Natasha and Daniel's story of a single day (made of random events that are somehow connected to form a single beautiful moment) that changed their lives portrays all that, yet with hope. That perhaps you are in the right universe after all. The one where everything might work out in the end.
That being said, do not worry, Nicola Yoon is not cruel. Like all fairytales, this one ends with a happily ever after as well. Just, not quite what you may have expected.
Fangirl Rating: 4/5
