The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
5.0
Contains spoilers!
I was a fan of Nicola Yoon's first book, but this one was even better! I love the idea of a day where the Fates align and somehow what you thought your day would be is not what your day is. I love the idea of falling in love on a day that would have otherwise (and actually still might be) your worst day ever. I love that Daniel and Natasha spend a day changing each other into more complete persons. I love that neither of their families would approve of how they spent their day, but they do it for the name of love. I really enjoyed the random interrupting stories that really show just how perfectly each action had an effect on Daniel and Natasha's day long relationship. I liked that the cultural stereotypes of these characters was turned upside down. (Natasha as a Jamaican "should be" laid back and poetic. Daniel as a Korean "should be" driven by science and logic and dreams of being a doctor.) This book reminded me a lot of the Fault in Our Stars. Okay, so no one was dying, but... some infinities are greater than other infinities is a lot like how being meant to be can be for only a day. Great read! Highly recommend!
