The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
4.0
Another young adult read I chose for the "Voices from the Margins" book group, and we all enjoyed this day in the life of a Jamaican-American girl, Natasha, whose family was due to be deported. She meets a romantic, idealistic Korean-American boy, Daniel, whose views of the world sharply contrast with her own science- and reality-focused beliefs. As children of immigrants, both Daniel and Natasha are far more American than their parents, and far more American than Jamaican or Korean.
This is the kind of book that makes you almost cringe at the number of coincidences...but outside of that, I loved it. It reminded me a bit of The Fault in Our Stars, but the immigrant version...so even more interesting.
“I don't believe in love."
"It's not a religion," he says. "It exists whether you believe in it or not.”
