The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
2.0
2 stars because that’s how many times I had to put this book down and gag at the weird, unconventional and confusing writing. The switch in POVs every . single . chapter. I think I got whiplash at some point. Oh, they pass by a random character on the street? Alright lets give this person two pages of plot that don’t add to the story in any capacity and bored me. Hate to admit it, but I promise after the first few times this happened, I stopped reading the rest of them. Either I’m just slow and don’t understand the need for these POVs or they were just a way to make the book long enough to publish. If you were to take out all of these unnecessary POVs there would probably only be like 50 pages of plot.
Oh yeah, and the plot. The characters? Gag. The story line? Gag. The cringe and borderline stalker main male character? Might as well go sleep on the highway now. I hate books like these that normalize creepy behavior out of men and have the women act clueless. It’s revolting.
Don’t even start me with the characters. Main MC was creepy, weird, childish, and every other word that has been used to describe a bad man. I just don’t understand how this character was chalked up to be dreamy, cute, handsome, respectful, etc. because the first chapters were literally him being creepy and basically STALKING the main FC.
The main FC also made me VERY mad. She was so oblivious to everything and acted like a c-word the whole time. “Science this science that!” I hope somebody hexes her. <3
Have you ever had a feeling after you read a book that either the main couple is going to last forever or break up. This book made me one hundred percent sure that they definitely broke up a day later (If they even started dating) because in all honesty, I don’t care enough to remember.
All I know is that the plot was the most predictable garbage I've ever read. Oh no she gets deported! But wait! She comes back and big gasp he was on the plane! Like seriously, I saw this a mile away and was still shocked that it ended the exact way I predicted it.
I swear the author grabbed a random plot generator off google and picked the first good sounding idea and rolled with it. I'm not quite sure why this was published, very respectfully. I’ve donated my copy of this and will not be reading it again. Thank you, next!
