Descripción editorial

*Now a major film starring Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton*

The New York Times bestselling love story from Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything.


Natasha:

I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true.

I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him.

Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story.

Daniel:
I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations.

Never the poet. Or the dreamer.

But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of us.

The Universe:
Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?

Toni Fuerte ,

The Most Benevolent Star

Ever started a book only to quickly realize you're not into it that much? Drowning in regret, thinking you should not be reading it, but sticking with that book anyway ('cause you're ABC-type of person - Always Be Closing whatever you started, regardless), and after a couple of chapters falling in love with the story and everything in-between? 'The Sun is Also a Star' did exactly that to me.

After watching a movie and falling in love with the characters, the scenario, and learning that it was based on a book, inspired by a real-life author's story - you can imagine, I could not resist. Comparison is a thief of joy, they say, and that's what firstly played against, and later on for me. I did not like the style the book was written at first and was comparing everything with the screen-action, but soon I've learned how many things movie couldn't tell and how deep the book went, explaining so many tiny details I've found myself obsessed with! There were moments I liked more on the screen (the movie), rather than reading about them (the book) - as, thankfully, it wasn't just a blunt copy-past and the movie director did the work properly, re-adjusting and romanticizing here and there, but in general I enjoyed the written story wholeheartedly.

Avoiding the spoilers (and making this review yet another essay): this is an obvious love-story about different people, different cultures, different opinions, and different circumstances. You will see the little story unfolds, from the different characters and perspectives, making the bigger picture out of it. It's hard for me to say whether seeing movie first (or after, or ever even) will affect your imagination, but it definitely played tricks for my ever-wandering mind and I used the movie as a background theme (running in my head), including the main actors, and I think it did help the immersion, so you can at least watch the trailer (also be aware, there are spoilers so if you want to full-blind, don't touch it).

Last words. You'll like this book if: You're a softie. Overly romantic and sensitive person. Easily falling in love, while having a tough time getting back into 'reality'. A firm believer there's a 'meant-to-be' person for you, and you alone.
Besides, this book is filled with interesting facts about quantum science, multiverses, cultural identities, philosophy (a lil bit), the hardship of immigration, and a tiny bit of music. And Deus Ex Machina. Yes.

Five-stars rating for the most benevolent star - the Sun and the book about it. Sort of. :)
