Obviously the majority of the book alternated between Daniel and Natasha’s POVs, but every so often there would be a little part about history, perhaps, or from another character’s perspective. This was at least partially due to how well matched the two were – I guess it’s true that opposites attract!Īnother aspect explored were the little side stories, which I adored. Daniel and Natasha’s relationship was written beautifully, and the story between them felt really real and natural, despite the characters being fictional. Daniel and Natasha just clicked – there wasn’t any denying it, and the only real explanation for the instant bond that they shared seemed to be fate.ĭespite this, Yoon didn’t overdo it, and the book was anything but cheesy.
I’ve never been one to believe in fate and being ‘meant to be’ but Daniel and Natasha’s relationship made me begin to question that. Of course, I can’t write much more before mentioning their undeniable connection. I thought this was a really interesting idea of Yoon’s and I’d never even considered this notion before, but it piqued my interest and I found myself longing for the future they saw to come true for them. As Daniel says: “What a difference a day makes.”Īnother aspect that I loved were the references to reverse deja vu – that is, recognising someone from their behaviour and, of course, glimpses of the future. The Sun Is Also A Star made me reflect on how much significance seemingly mundane everyday things can hold, and how something that doesn’t seem particularly extraordinary at the time can actually change your life forever. Each moment in the book proved to be pivotal and crucial to Daniel and Natasha’s relationship and time together. Similarly, Yoon explored the importance of coincidences and everything they could lead to. A chance encounter led to so much more, and it was really interesting to read about everything that had led up to the moment they first met, and Daniel’s immediate interest in Natasha, and her gradual change in attitudes towards him. The book takes place over the timespan of just twenty four hours, which only adds to the magic.įate is a primary theme in this book, and I loved the way Yoon incorporated it throughout. It follows two protagonists: pragmatist Natasha, an illegal immigrant who is due to leave America in a matter of hours, and romantic Daniel, whose own ambitions clash with what his parents want. The Sun Is Also A Star is a beautifully written tale about fate, chance and, of course, falling in love.
Hi everyone! Today I’m going to be reviewing The Sun Is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon.
