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

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.

This book was both beautiful and unique in its writing. I listened to the audio and there were a cast of narrators that did a wonderful job of telling this story.
This story is all about Fate and how one thing can trigger another that can trigger another. If you make one decision you'll have one outcome that will be different than the outcome you would have had if you'd made a different decision. The connection between each character was interwoven so beautifully with Nicola's writing. I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a uniquely formatted story about human connection.
The ending is not what you will expect but I thought it was refreshing and different than what we usually get from happily ever afters.
I'd love more stories like this one!

This book made me feel so many emotions so deeply. This is not just a love story about two teenagers who happen to meet by chance in New York City on one of the most important days of their lives that could determine their future. This is a story that tells many people's stories, some are random people the two just meet in passing and some are integral characters in their lives. Not only can you relate to each of the main characters, Natasha who is all logic and science and doesn't believe in love until she falls in love on the day before she and her family are about to be deported and Daniel, a poet whose family wants him to become a doctor and is heading to his college admission interview for Havard when he meets Natasha, but you can feel for all the people they are meeting and affecting. It is love/lust at first sight for both of them in a non-cliche way but Natasha tries to push her feelings and Daniel away since her future is so uncertain and she does not want to be hurt by love/feelings/dreams again. So Daniel spends all day with her, trying to make her fall in love with him. This book is so well written, the perfect mesh of feelings and logic that makes life meaningful. This book can make you change the way you look at life if you let it.

This book is heavy, awe-inspiring, and deliciously hopeful. I had forgotten how magical young love is and this book explored every nook and cranny of how love and life can come to be. This book also looked at the immigrant experience and the yearning for belonging as a child of immigrant parents. I particularly liked the mix of poetry and science in little anecdotes as the chapters jumped between the main characters and minor characters.
