Title: The Sun Is Also A Star
Author: Nicola Yoon
Rating: 5/5 stars
Teen Reviewer: Nanditha Prashanth
This book revolves around three main narrators/characters.
Natasha, a Jamaican girl, who only believes in Science and facts to prove a
cause. Not a girl to believe in love and fate. Whose future is being destined
in the next 12 hours because of her father. Daniel is a Korean boy who is a good-son,
smart, and a good student. But never the poet he wishes to be. Whose future is
being destined in the next 6 hours. Lastly the Universe who decides the fate of
all including Natasha and Daniel. The fate (Universe) managed to entangle these
two people who seem to have come from the absolute opposite ends of life
itself, in an arbitrary way of its own. The remaining of the book follows their
journey as consecutive events build up to a unimaginable emotion in the
entirety of the plot.
If you are a person who has an edge for scientific theory
and a little romance, this book is definitely for you. This book showed me
different perspectives of life but, the best part is that it taught a lot of
valuable aspects in life that are not always appreciated or understood. Like
how each person and event that happens in the world impacts you whether you
know it or not. I also found the aspects of science in the book to be very
informative. It was cool to understand what different people are thinking
during a particular event. Overall I loved this book. It was
perfect. The only thing is... this book may be hard to follow for some as it skips back and
forth between the history, universe, Natasha, Daniel and side characters
referring to the books narration. I give it 5/5 stars!
