Yoon, Nicola. (2016). The Sun is Also a Star. New York: Delacorte/Random House.
[Jamaican Natasha and Korean American Daniel spend the day wandering around New York determining that they are meant to be together. Drawn together while each focused on a potentially life-changing task (he has an interview with a Yale graduate, she is hoping to prevent her family from being deported back to Jamaica that evening), the two, through alternating chapters in each of their voices, examine the links between life and love, and coincidence and fate.]
