The sun is also a star



The book we will be reviewing today is 'The Sun is Also a Star', penned by Nicola Yoon. 


Nicola Yoon has also penned the book, 'Everything,Everything' which has been a huge talk among the bibliophiles. (You can find the review of this book in my older posts.) Here's the link to help you out: Everything,Everything review

The plot unfolds from two points of views, one of Natasha and one of Daniel. They fall in love in the little time they have and are desperate to find a way out. 


'The trouble with getting your hopes too far up is: it's a long way down.' is a quote from the book that explains that if we get our hopes too high and if in case they do not come true, it hurts like hell. 


'Sometimes your world shakes so hard, it's difficult to imagine that everyone else isn't feeling it too.' is a quotation from the book that tells us that when we feel something intense, we expect that the people around us should feel it, understand it. 


'It's a long life to spend doing something you're only meh about.' is an extract from the book that tells us that if we don't love what we do, we will regret it when we grow old and have nothing to do but look back onto the things we could have done, could have achieved.


'You can't persuade someone to love you.' is an extract from the book which tells us that no matter how hard we love someone it is they who needs to choose what they want. 


'Who are we if not a product of our parents and their histories?' is a quote from the book that tells us that we are what our parents taught us to be, what the society around us has taught us to be. 


'The eyes are the windows to the soul.' is a quotation from the book that tells us that we may lie, but if we look into the eyes of the person, we can see the truth.


'It's not up to you to help other people fit you into a box.' is an extract from the book which tells us that people judge you no matter what you do, and you cannot help the way they think about you. So do what you love and care a little less about the judgement being throw at your face.


I would recommend this book to those who like to read romance, the young adult genre and to those to like science(yes, it has a lot of scientific concepts involved!).
