The Sun Is Also a Star

Daniel’s task is to make Natasha believe in love in a single day. Tasha’s task is to do everything possible to not leave America.

Love is like a breath after a long hold. But what if the Universe has its own calculations and routes about it?

Natasha Kingsley is a seventeen-year-old American girl of Jamaican descent. She considers herself a realist, loves science, and trusts only what can be proven. Fate, signs, and “destiny” cause her nothing but doubt.

Daniel Zhe Won Bae is a committed romantic. He dreams of poetry, but his parents insist on a medical future and send him to study to become a doctor. It’s unfair—and yet Daniel doesn’t give up: he knows how to enjoy life and believes that even accidents can become a chance. Although…

A touching and inspiring story about first love, family, science, and how, without anyone noticing, everything in this world weaves together.
