The Sun Is Also a Star
The #1 New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist from the bestselling author of Everything, Everything will have you falling in love with Natasha and Daniel as they fall in love with each other!
Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story.
Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of us.
The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?

"Beautifully crafted." --People
"A book that is very much about the many factors that affect falling in love, as much as it is about the very act itself. . . . Fans of Yoon’s first novel, Everything Everything, will find much to love—if not, more—in what is easily an even stronger follow up." —Entertainment Weekly
"Transcends the limits of YA as a human story about falling in love and seeking out our futures." —POPSUGAR.com

It definitely enhanced this book that I'd just visited NYC a few months ago. It's hard to set a book entirely in one day, and Yoon did a wonderful job of making this work. Natasha and Daniel were compelling characters, and I was rooting for them to find happiness, whether it was together or apart.

I really enjoyed this book! Natasha and Daniel are so easy to love and you can't help but root for them from the get go. I loved the different cultural and philosophical point of views and the compassion that this story evoked from me. Such talented writing that flowed so seamlessly making this quite an enjoyable read.

My heart breaks and rejoices and breaks and rejoices. We all lead our lives so alone until we find The One. Then life opens like a flier and shines and warms you fully like the brilliant sun.
