The Sun is Also a Star By  Nicola Yoon Published on November 1, 2016 Published by: Delacorte Press Source: Around the World ARC Tours Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate.

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.

A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true? Add to Goodreads  |  Pre-order from Amazon   T...
