The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
Loved It, Liked It, So So, Not For Me || Liked It A Lot
Why I Read It || Recommended on the Internet
What I Thought || A boy and a girl falling in love, in one day, in New York City. It may sound a bit cheesy, but it isn't. It deals with race, immigration, sacrifice, and parental love in a way that makes you think and ask those deeper questions. With the two main characters, the author was switching back and forth between these two narratives, but she also shared from various other points of view from other characters in the book to enrich the story. Loved this form of writing style. It did have some language and a couple spots where it was a bit too descriptive.
