(Review written 6/17/2019)
I listened to The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon in anticipation of the movie adaptation and because I read several positive reviews. Full confession: I'm not really a YA reader and that is evident in my opinion of this novel.
I liked main characters Natasha and Daniel and empathized with the ways immigration impacts their lives. However, readers have to believe in a series of major coincidences for their story to make sense. I actually enjoyed the âuniverseâ portions of the novel more where we get glimpses into the lives of minor characters. A good reminder that we never know the many ways we may impact someone's life with a simple one-time interaction.
I've heard mixed reviews for the movie, but I'll probably watch it at some point.
