RE-READ UPDATE: The second time around was so much better than the first. I had the time to sit and read and absorb and it was absolutely one of the most beautiful books that I have ever read. 
 I don't, honestly, know what to say. I don't even know where to start. As I am sure you can tell from my previous reviews, contemporaries aren't usually my go-to reads. But this one stuck out, and I decided to chance it. My good golly, y'all. 
 Daniel and Natasha are so very different, but no matter the differences between you and someone else, everyone is going through something. And despite those differences, they can be perfect for each other, be a balm or a spark. Despite everything, they can inspire. This story, without going into details, was like that for ME. A spark, an inspiration. This book is the definition of beauty, in life, in the pages of a story. 
 The characters in The Sun is Also a Star leap off of the pages and right into your heart. I was in love from the first paragraph, and the love only grew. Nicola Yoon is a force, y'all. There is something about her, about her writing, that has the ability to touch a heart, to make you smile, laugh, cry, leap for joy. I can officially say that I am a fan for life. As soon as you are able, no matter your age or reading preferences, give The Sun is Also a Star a chance. It is so very, very worth it!
