I struggled the most with this last POV category because the overwhelming effect was highly cynical. Then the authors adds POVs from the universe in general explaining things like science facts (which I think I would have really liked as a teen but liked a bit less as an adult, since the information was familiar rather than revelatory to me) and POVs from random people the main characters encounter in the course of their day. There are the two protagonists, of course, Natasha and Daniel, and in the beginning the POV changes every page or so, barely giving readers time to get their bearings before being swept off somewhere else. It did take me a while to get into the book purely because of the number of POV switches. The end result is a book that doesn’t always feel cohesive but which will likely make readers think…and occasionally smile. The plot is an interesting mix of realism in depicting the protagonists’ struggles (one is an undocumented immigrate whose family is about to be deported the other is facing pressure from his parents to go to Yale to become a doctor so he can live the American dream) and pure fantasy (they fall wildly in love within a matter of hours and have some unexpected adventures). Overall it's a cute book that makes you think about life.The Sun Is Also a Star is a compelling story about how two teens’ lives collide on a single day where they feel like anything can happen. The chapters are so short that is it an easy and quick read. This book makes you ponder about life, the universe, and fate. There was history so that you could deeply understand why it was the way it was. The social and racial aspects of this book are amazing, it was so well explained. Natasha and Daniel's relationship is rushed especially in the beginning. It is such a hopeful book and it's sp refreshing.

It shows so many people besides the main character, and we learn so much about them. This book explores how much one person can affect so many other people's lives. Then, Daniel was the kind of person that people are drawn to, funny, creative, and peotic. I loved Natasha, she was relatable because of her fact-based ways. It does have a form of insta love, but it works with the setup and plot and is well used. While Natasha is determined to not fall in love with Daniel and stop her family from being deported.Īs said before, this book is cute and explores what life is and what it can be. Daniel becomes determined to prove to Natasha that love is more than chemicals and is a real thing. While on their own ways, their paths intersect. And Daniel, a creative, hopeless romantic, is doing everything he can to please his parents by going to a Yale alumni interview.

We follow Natasha, a science and fact-based person, trying to do everything she can to prevent her family from being deported.
