The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

I love how their were little breaks in the story to hear little random facts about history and culture and other things. And how we also got information from the minor characters POV. It all added perfectly to the story. I did find myself tearing up twice though: once when

they were with the security guard who smoked. I teared up when we had his POV about his wife who died just after retirement, and the sentence 'saving up for our lives to go on a cruise to see the Northern Lights. Always waiting for the right time, not spending our money, and what for'.

I'm almost tearing up again now remembering it. It's so true. What for! Half the time there never even is a 'right time'. Just do it when you want, because it's worth that little bit of happiness. And the other time

Daniel talking about how his heart would be ripped out of his chest at the airport :(

When we initially learnt about the background of both MCs, I was shocked. Such diverse characters, such harsh parents and cultures. If Daniel's family is so Korean-based, then why not move back to Korean. Stop trying to keep their culture alive in a place that isn't accommodating for it. It's something that I feel strongly about. If you're in a foreign country, live their way, respect how things could change.
I have to say I can't believe that that's the end of the story. If not for the Epilogue I would be incredibly dissatisfied. I am very happy that

they managed to find each other in the end.
