This book is truly amazing. The Sun Is Also a Star is written from two

different perspectives; Natasha and Daniel. Natasha is less of a dreamer,

more of a realistic thinker. She’s just trying to keep her family from being

shows first, just because when you do go to read the books, your entire

perspective is altered due to the show. So as soon as I discovered the show,

and the books it was created for, I went out and got myself a copy of the
