This book wasn't super-dramatic, though.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-76063986366516179192016-12-31T15:22:23.369-06:002016-12-31T15:22:23.369-06:00I also dislike destined romance, but I enjoyed the...I also dislike destined romance, but I enjoyed the ending. It was sweet and seemed to fit with the story's central arc. And I like how it all came back to a small act of kindness from so many years before. If nothing else, that's a great lesson.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-73295638201259007972016-12-30T16:49:41.869-06:002016-12-30T16:49:41.869-06:00Yay it was really great even though I'm not re...Yay it was really great even though I'm not really into destined romance.

I didn't like her first book as much (too many plot holes), but I really like Yoon's writing style.<br /><br />I appreciated the other perspectives included in the book as well--the cover makes so much sense in that regard.Akilahhttp://theenglishist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-6571397251096369952016-12-29T19:23:51.618-06:002016-12-29T19:23:51.618-06:00This one seems to be getting really good reviews. ...This one seems to be getting really good reviews.

I still haven't read her first novel despite being excited about it when I first heard of it -- I've heard a few negative things about disability rep in that book that made me a bit anxious to try it. But The Sun Is Also a Star sounds wonderful. Exactly what I need for this time of year, something light but not glib.Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-62536042919904411812016-12-29T14:18:16.164-06:002016-12-29T14:18:16.164-06:00I am so glad to hear that you liked this book!
