BOOK REVIEW: THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR BY NICOLA YOON

[@booksaremysociallife]

I actually loved the romance sometimes but whenever I reminded myself while reading it that it took place in one day it felt odd. I agree that Yoon is definitely talented though, she'll always get that from me.

No doubt, coming from a young adult’s mind. I really enjoyed reading this book. I specifically went in, reading this to try and understand the perspectives from both characters; since I’m a fan of any genre (including fiction), I went into this story completely naked. The cool thing about both Daniel and Natasha is that both are 17. Coming from a 17-year-old I can definitely pull out traits, like the hopeless romantic in Daniel, and the logical cynic like Natasha. The reactions and perspectives from both sides really had me invested. For a while my suspension of disbelief got involved and I believed they were real teenagers, judging by how authentic they sound. I even thought side characters like Jeremy Fitzgerald, Irene, and Samuel Kingsley were nice additions to the story. Hell, the 3rd person omniscient perspective from God, giving facts about the universe, eyes, or hair I thought was also a nice touch. At first, I wasn’t invested in this, but after hearing their language and references, it made it easier for me to believe they’re two mature teens with two different burdens on their shoulders. Then add in the concept of losing the one you love and I think it’s a great book. One of my personal favorites, that made me think after the story was over. Again I don’t believe this is for everybody but I believe this is a great novel for people in my age group.

I admire your review as it's honest and well thought out.

[@aissataamadou]

Jani Khan same even if I like the said book I like to see people’s diverse opinions

[@Doveyarns]

So excited that you finally reviewed the sun is also a star! I absolutely love the book!

[@beetrf]

i always appreciate your honesty in your reviews. You are a big influence on what i choose to read. Thank you!

[@AlwiyiaYafii]

I felt the same way. It was a good book but I just wasn't sold on the romance so I wasn't really rooting for them until right at the end which made for just an okay reading experience. I definitely enjoyed other aspects of the novel a lot more than the romance.

[@cherrysubmarine]

I didn't like it either and I get so frustrated when all of book tube acts like this book is perfect. So thank you for you

[@priyaarora8018]

I loved this book but I still loved your review....awesome!!

[@jeremiahbok9028]

With booktubers mostly gushing over the same YA books, you're refreshing. You're so discerning, I know if you love it, I will too. And with this, it sounds like you saved me from a decent but pretty forgettable time. With so many great books out there, I'm glad I don't need to bother. That's what's great about being a booknerd. There's so much, we can treat ourselves to the best. Thanks, Sophie, hugs.

[@faithdizon13]

ah! yes! i just finished reading TSIAAS today and i completely agree with everything you’re saying. it’s as if i’m watching u read my book review and my mind right before my eyes!

[@besobeso5927]

What I loved the most about this book was probably how much effect daniel and natasha left on the people they encountered

[@thesidonath]

I just have to tell you this in case no one told you today , but you are so insanely beautiful! I am a huge fan ! Lots of love Thesi 🎀

[@ohnomishal]

I love her for her honest reviews which I can relate to. Other booktubers always sugar-coat their reviews

[@mariam19554]

I think I liked this book mostly because it was so much better from Everything, Everything. But when I think about it now, the characters are very similar to Elenor and Park. I didn't like Elenor and Park so that's probably the reason I dislike the romance between the characters 😂 However, the immigration part really spoke to me, and I related to the situation on some level. So yeah, I wouldn't recommend the book to everyone.

[@josh-eo7fv]

i love how the word 'star' from the tapestry is in the frame. intentional ?¿?¿

[@booksarebetter]

I just talked about this in my favorites of 2017 video! Although I liked it, it probably ended up on my favorites video because of my reading slump throughout the year. And I definitely had a lot of the same thoughts and concerns about the story life of The Sun is Also a Star. I thought Nicola's writing was for sure a redeeming quality for me though.

[@mayarayaginuma1561]

Have you read There’s someone inside your house by Stephanie Perkins? I just bought it and I would love to watch a review from you cause I know you also love her other books.

[@gracecannon6049]

The Anatomical Shape of the Heart by Jenn Bennett is absolutely amazing and I know you will love it! I seriously recommend reading it; unlike Alex, Approximately, this book doesn’t have any infuriating parts!!!:))))

[@nicaariana7166]

This Is my opinion too! Exactly the same one you expressed in your video. And everyone loves this book so i felt a little bit odd that i didn't.

[@stefani8575]

geez I've been wanting to read this book for a while now. great review btw!!

[@alexiatran5312]

You just described exactly what I thought about the book.

[@katahum_karon]

I did not finish Eleanor and Park but I also don't swoon over insta-love of which The Sun Is Also A Star for the most part is. Only this time, I did not cringe over Natasha and Daniel as I was welcomed with the multiple workings of happenstance in hopeless romantics, taken aback with the writing go-abouts that only Nicola Yoon can. This video did not downscale my stars (pun intended). I am partly disagreeing and I hope I am not totally disagreeable. I'm just glad Physics and Poetry thrived in the same leaves. #alliteratedyeahiknowsowhat

[@mimikyuIRL]

Please read and review The Song Of Achilles!

[@izzbonito]

i love this book so much and enjoyed hearing your opinions!

[@user-vm7bx2lz4w]

I actually preferred Everything, Everything to The Sun is also a Star idk. I can see how her books can be problematic. I am not a huge fan of her writing I think it's kinda cheesy but I liked the plot of Everything, Everything

[@brennareese1324]

You should do a review over Simon vs. The Homosapiens Agenda!

[@user-ut6vw3bp8]

I basically followed the HYPE but i was laid down by the book. I didnot like the book cuz so much was happening in just 1 day and miraculously they get a hppy ending like that's not what happens in real life ,huh?!!

[@lReclipse]

You should really read the book series of Dorothy must die which has 4 books in it and a lot of prequels Anywho not convinced? Well then the first book is 1.Dorothy Must Die 2.The Wicked will rise 3.Yellow Brick War 4.End of Oz It’s a really good book series with adventure action romance thrilling and just full of excitement and the way it describes things in the book is just so descriptive! All the characters are just great, and each book is different and then the first which makes it very interesting The book is about Amy the protagonist who goes to Oz on a tornado, and discovers the Oz she knew growing up on movies is real but Dorothy came back to Oz and got a taste of magic and became a tyrant and Amy’s mission is to kill her, then it takes 4 books but they’re all quite entertaining and very interesting but I have to admit it takes a while to get to the point or to move on to the plot but overall that it’s still a pretty good book, it also has some questions that are unanswered even after 4 books like why Dorothy specifically became a tyrant why the lion the tin man and the scarecrow decided to join her or how she got back to Oz, but you can discover that in the prequels, Anywho I totally recommend this book! It’s really great and I’ll love for you to read all 4 of the books and maybe read the prequels and then give a book review! They’re really great books

[@jpmartinez6232]

same thoughts, I can't connect with the characters and the plot is not realistic.

[@Meyra97512]

I didn't like either of her books :( she seems so sweet though

[@anaghasharma7433]

Not reading this book then 😁
