“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!

“Stars are important," I say, laughing.

"Sure, but why not more poems about the sun? The sun is also a star, and it's our most important one. That alone should be worth a poem or two.”

"Do you think it's funny that both of our favourite memories are about the people we like the least now?" I ask.

"Maybe that's why we dislike them," she says. "The distance between who they were and who they are is so wide, we have no hope of getting them back."

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.”

Nicola Yoon’s editor: “You’re having him just *conveniently* see this girl and *conveniently* decide to follow her into the store? You may as well just print ‘Deus ex machina’ on her back in giant letters!!”
