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?

Find The Sun Is Also a Star Nicola Yoon in PDF, EPUB, ebook, audiobook, print, or library editions.
2 books in catalog
Contemporary young adult fiction gained a distinct perspective on teenage romance and identity with the publication of the 2015 bestseller Everything, Everything. Nicola Yoon quickly established herself as a leading voice in young adult and speculative fiction, earning critical recognition for stories centered on diverse protagonists and complex emotional journeys.
Her second young adult novel, The Sun is Also a Star, further expanded her readership through its exploration of immigration, family, and fate, while her adult debut, One Of Our Kind, brought her narrative focus on social issues into the realm of speculative fiction.
Raised in Jamaica and Brooklyn, Nicola Yoon spent fifteen years working in finance before pursuing a career as a full-time author. She became the first Black woman to reach the number one spot on the New York Times Young Adult bestseller list following the debut of Everything, Everything. In addition to her solo young adult books and her adult fiction, she has co-authored collaborative novels including Blackout and Whiteout. Partnering with her husband, novelist David Yoon, she co-founded Joy Revolution, a Random House imprint dedicated to publishing romantic young adult novels focused on people of color. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her family.
Yoon's writing combines personal character arcs with broader commentary on culture, grief, and social structures. Her young adult books frequently feature multi-perspective narratives, non-traditional formatting, and themes touching on the immigrant experience, love, and destiny. In her adult speculative work, such as One Of Our Kind, she utilizes suspense and social critique to examine race, wealth, and community dynamics.
