When they meet, Daniel is making his way uptown to talk to a Yale admittance interviewer-only because his family expects him to become a doctor. When she eats Korean food for the first time (with Daniel), she’s close to ecstasy. When she listens to her music she is transported. Whereas Natasha is precise and reasons empirically, she’s also sensual. Daniel, the poet, sees Natasha on the street, not at his parents’ shop because she wears her hair in a huge Afro. The Sun is Also a Star (Delacorte 2016) by Nicola Yoon is told in the alternating voices of romantic Daniel and Natasha who thinks like a scientist. Despite the injustice and weirdness of this, it turns out that most black hair and beauty stores are owned and run by people from South Korea.
They run an African American hair supply store.
Daniel’s parents immigrated from Korea and had their children in the U.S.
Both books focus on fate bringing two people together.What a perfect cast for a love story! Natasha, 17, is slated to be deported from New York City with her family, back to Jamaica. If you like the book They Both Die At The End, then The Sun Is Also A Star is for you. I recommend this book to readers ages 13 to 16 because there is talk of sex and there is swearing. It’s what made this one an unforgettable story. Each character is so thoroughly created, and the plot was so original. It gave the book more depth, and it was a unique twist to a romance novel.Īlso, Yoon’s writing is honestly phenomenal. I loved how this book shifted perspectives, from Natasha to Daniel to almost anyone who crossed their paths. But, it’s the suprising and bittersweet ending that will move you to tears. “Time and distance are love’s natural enemies,” the author writes. Daniel, a Korean, is a hopeless romantic who is trying to live up to his parents’ expectations and become a doctor.įor one reason or another, the universe lets their paths interwine, but as they grow closer and closer, they are pulled further and further apart. She is being deported back to Jamaica in 24 hours. Natasha is the fact-driven girl who loves science. It is a deep, thought-provoking novel that highlights the magic of fate and chance. Natasha and Daniel are brought together by unexpected circumstances that lead them to falling in love in The Sun Is Also A Star, by Nicola Yoon.
