The Sun Is Also a Star

The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon    Audio Book:  8 Hours    book: 384 pages

What a great day!   Good and bad it all was an amazing day for both Natasha and Daniel.    Two people brought together by a number of signs and odd circumstances to both be in the exact place they were at the same time and who would ever believe two people from extremely diverse backgrounds and life situations could find the answers they needed in one another?    The universe will bring soulmates together no matter how far apart they might begin their journeys.    And happily love never dies.     A poet who speaks of love among the stars and an existentialist who notes that the sun is also a star and far too many poets put far too much emphasis on the moon and the stars.     Who would have thought two people with such different attitudes toward life and love could find compatibility and complete each other.    Opposites attract it’s said, but, these two lovers are not so far apart in their thinking as they would like to believe they are.    I loved the way this book progresses from the mind of one character to the other.   It is such a rich blend.   This is a most excellent story told realistically with joy, sorrow, despair, hope, tragedy and triumph.    Love is an awesome thing that time cannot contain.    Beautifully done.      A modern day Romeo and Juliet.     I think the Bard would definitely approve.
