The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
5.0
reader era is back???
i picked this book up after hearing about it a couple times (hi mona) in the days leading up to finding it at the thrift store. it was fate, i thought. ironic that this is a reoccurring theme in the book itself.
i don’t usually read books this fast, but i just couldn’t let go of it. i needed a story like this so bad: something to make me giggle but also make me want to die (positive and negative connotation).
i sobbed through the last 20 pages and a few other times before that. i highlighted every line that made me feel something in a faint purple. maybe i’ll never reread it but the pages just had to know.
i wanna attach a transcribed journal entry from the day i started reading. i was 50ish pages in and already ranting to myself about fate.
“11ish pm. 6 jan.
I think one day I could believe in fate. but I hope I don’t. I hope I meet people who make me skeptic and fall in love so deeply that I really really almost believe it. I hope I love so much I know it’s not fate, it’s just love. I feel love. I feel so much and I will feel so much more but that’s in my hands and in my heart, not the universe’s.”
