Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine! This week I am waiting for the release of The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon.
The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
Publish date: November 1, 2016
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Even though I had some issues with Yoon's debut novel, Everything Everything, I did like her writing style. Her latest book has been getting glowing reviews including one of 2017 National Book Award Finalist for Young Adults.
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?

Well, this looks interesting. I also like that cover.
I liked Everything, Everything and this novel sounds good as well. I'll add it to my TBR list, so thank you!
I'll have to look up some of these glowing reviews for this one because I'm pretty sure this is the first I've heard of it. I do recall people mostly liking her first book though!
I haven't read Everything, Everything yet but I've definitely heard a lot about it. Love this cover!
I didn't realize that this book was a National Book award nominee. I, too, wasn't crazy about Everything, Everything but I will stay open-minded for this one.
