The Sun Is Also A Star By Nicola Yoon

This one probably took me longer than it should have to read but I think subconsciously I knew it was worth savouring. The Sun Is Also A Star is so much more than the love story it first comes across as being. It is beautiful and thought-provoking and I am so glad I picked it up. 

Like I said this is a love story but at the same time it's not. Woven into the love story between Natasha and Daniel is the story of two teenagers trying to solve their problems and find where they are meant to be. There is also the stories of many other minor character woven in with their story too and I loved that concept of the book. 

The story is told from both Natasha and Daniel's point of view along with the Universe who explains the history of minor characters and eyes and the concept of half-life. It is just a wonderful way to experience a book. 

I listened to the audiobook of this book for parts and it truly is a great audiobook too. The characters are so well presented. I found the audiobook made it easier at times to understand who was talking at different points in the book so if you feel like you get lost easily in a book with different POVs in it i highly recommend picking up the audiobook. 

I think one of the reasons I enjoyed this book so much is because it is so beautifully written. Nicola Yoon has a way with words. The way part of this book are written truly helps you to understand the situations the characters have found themselves in while bringing out the different personalities in each of them.

I also loved that Yoon was able to write about some pretty serious topics throughout the book. It covers racism, deportation and the science vs love debate that is prominent throughout. 

It truly was an amazing book to read and I loved every minute of it. I recommend this to anyone looking for a more diverse book to read that will get your brain going a bit.
