 Review: About a week ago, I got started on Everything, Everything and I think I made peace with it. Decent book, not perfect, but okay. Because I bought Everything, Everything with this book, I decided to read it next and hoped for the best. Which might have been to much. Because I hated this book. 
 So, The Sun Is Also a Star is about two completely different people, who met each other in a day and fell in love. Natasha is an illegal immigrant, because of her father, and she has to leave New York to Jamaica tonight. Daniel, who has an allergic-to-Korean-and-loves-to-bully Korean brother and family, has an interview to Yale on the same day he meets Natasha. 
 Who's falling for this? 
 Not me. 
 Too bad the writing style was also bad. I honestly really liked what Yoon wrote in Everything, Everything because it was fast read and entertaining along with the doodles within the pages. Without those light writing and doodle, this book can't compete with the other one. I totally felt disappointed as I read on and on because it was repetitive. It looked like Yoon didn't put efforts in this book at all, especially from what I read in the epilogue. What I hated more than the effortless writing is the use of Korean language. At this, I don't mean using a full sentence with Korean and switching back and forth to English, because I know that people who aren't English native speakers do that, it's the moments when she wrote only a Korean word, addressing mom/dad/brother. I know I'm probably the only one, but it sounded so fake and inconvenient. I'm not a Korean, but I used to study Korean. I'm not up for this. 
 Let's just say this book is slow. What happened in beginning to end took only a day. One day. And still, it was slow paced. I guess Natasha's and Daniel's boring conversations took too much time and it was nonsense because they were looking for each other half of the book. Oh and of course, it's insta-love, you can't lose each other. I cared about none of the character in this book yet one made me lose my shit because of his irresponsibility. I thought it was unacceptable because you got a proper fucking job yet you're acting like a fucking 12 year old. This was unpredictable, in a bad way of course, and it effects the ending of the book, which means that nothing was solved. It was a total bullshit. I was pissed off and that was why I hated this book. 
 I can't begin to explain why I hated both the characters. They seemed to be too much since they are different people. Natasha is pulled towards the science side which is the polar opposite from Daniel. He's into poetry and he believes in fate. I'm a little bit of both, so I don't know how to feel about both of them surely. I'm not sure if this book is considered problematic because of the racist parents and penis jokes, but that made me flinch and cringe too bad. 
 Overall: I heard there are people who loved this book and disliked it. Now that I've said my opinion, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It actually made me feel better about Everything Everything.
