Our view
“The Sun Is Also a Star” is a quick, sweet young adult romance whose unusual format is its boldest feature. Natasha, who trusts only science and is about to be deported, meets Daniel, who believes in fate, and the two fall in love within a single day. A reader with no patience for love at first sight may struggle, and some find the ending less than satisfying. Teenage romantics are its natural audience.
