#The Sun Is Also A Star

[melodysbookhaven]

“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”

Is there any chance you could make a web weaving of wanting to be a better parent than one’s own? Like a protective individual wanting to spite a bloodline of pain to foster love and care to their own child? To be better that one’s own parents? I think a web weaving of this would be gorgeous!

The Sun is Also a Star is a classic boy-meets-girl story, but with a twist—a brief, whirlwind romance that takes place over the course of a single day. It’s the kind of tale that romantic souls long for, where a single glance sparks something electric, and a few intimate questions lead to the feeling that you’ve known each other for a lifetime. Throw in a few minutes of gazing into each other’s eyes, and it feels like enough for love to bloom, despite the ticking clock.

Can two people who share just one monumental day truly be destined for forever? It sounds like something that only happens in the movies—or, in this case, a novel—but Nicola Yoon explores that very question, and along the way, she gives readers a glimpse into the improbable yet beautiful possibility of it. The story is not just about love, though; it dives into deeper, more sensitive topics like immigration, deportation, and the difficult sacrifices families make, sometimes at the expense of their dreams.

What I particularly enjoyed about this book were the side stories of the people surrounding the main characters. These glimpses into the lives of others show how our actions—or even our inactions—can ripple through the lives of those around us, often in ways we don’t even realize. It adds a layer of interconnectedness that feels profound, reminding us how small moments can have lasting impacts.

My only real struggle with the story was trying to fit everything that happened into a single day. It felt almost too perfect, like time was stretched just a little to allow everything to fall neatly into place. But maybe that’s the point—perhaps love, like time, bends when it needs to.

And the ending? That might just be my favorite part. It’s hopeful and brimming with possibilities, leaving you with the sense that maybe, just maybe, love can defy the odds and the limits of time.

“I don't believe in love."

"It's not a religion," he says. "It exists whether you believe in it or not.”

something i thrive in is unconditional love.

something i’ve learned is that love is conditional.

i’ve been removing the layers of muck built up around my thinking organ

forced ideologies and mundane prophecies unraveling themselves to untangle whatever is left of me.

i am a museum of everything i’ve bear witness to.

i hold every day my memory bank allows me sanction in. from early morning bitter coffees to late evening room filled laughters. from every beggar holding the door for me to every rich flying past my aching feet.

love is conditional.

but it doesn’t have to be.

i could learn to love the rich if they could learn to share.

we’re taught this in school. we’re taught this on the playground. were taught this in church. we’re taught this when the coffee isn’t an addiction yet and the scraped knees are the worst.

love doesn’t have to be conditional. i can love and be loved on my hardest days. i can provide the bandaids and neosporin to mine and your wounded knees. i can sweeten the coffee.

i am the museum that holds everything i’ve been privileged enough to witness.

as a museum, i have a right to protect the arts of every piece of art i’m created of. i have the responsibility of educating the people and showing them their voice. i have the courage to heal, to listen to the weeping of souls and the warm laughter in the pits of bellies.

you’re not really alone in the museum when you’re surrounded by all the art that has been created for you by creatures all trying to feel something.

So tired that my brain had me saying April Frools instead of April Fools and didn’t see the problem for a hot minute.

Don’t ask why I’m thinking about April fool’s in December, my brains on a train and we’re a little lost right now.
