Review: The Sun is also a Star by Nicola Yoon

The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon Published by Corgi Children’s on November 1, 2016 Genres: Contemporary, Fiction, Romance, Young Adult Pages: 348 Format: E-Arc, Paperback Source: Netgalley, Own Copy Buy on Amazon Goodreads A story of a girl, a boy, and the universe Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story.

Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A […]
