The Sun is Also a Star

3.5 stars

First I want to mention that my review is based off of an ARC that I won in a giveaway back in 2017 from someone who no longer wanted it. I say that because I am not sure how the final book is formatted or if a lot was changed etc. so what I have to say might not even be relevant so just keep that in mind.

When I first picked this up I read 50 pages and I wasn't really into it at all. It's told mostly from Daniel and Natasha POV switching back and forth between the two but we also get chapters from other characters that didn't seem to go with the story and there's also chapters that are like history lessons and science lessons and at first those chapters would pull me out of the story. When I sat down to read it the next time I was completely drawn in. Basically because of the romance but once I finished the book I could see how everything made sense together.

The romance is very insta-lovey so if that's not your thing I would skip this. And while it's pretty unrealistic I found it to be really cute and heartbreaking at time. While the romance is the main focus of this book it also tackles so much more. It had diversity it talked about immigration, racism, and difficult family life. I really enjoyed this book but I was left feeling meh about it. It didn't blow me away. I wasn't swooning over the romance even though I thought it was cute and the ending felt rushed to me but I do still recommend that everyone reads this book.
