The Sun Is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon

Natasha is a girl living illegally in America and facing deportation back to her home of Jamaica due to her dad getting a DUI.

Daniel is a Korean guy living in America with his family where his brother has come back from studying to become a doctor and thus is quite an unpleasant character around Daniel as they fight a lot.

As Natasha goes to meet the only lawyer she thinks can help her case to stay in America she meets Daniel and didn't expect find herself liking him as much as she does. Though Natasha faces leaving America, she can't break it to Daniel and so it makes her feel guilty later when he finally understands but can their possible love and future stay alive in hope or never get going at all?

I wanted to love the book after all the hype but honestly for mW it fell very flat. I would have liked to know the main two characters deeper and have their stories more developed before they fall in like/love as they felt bland to me. As for the deportation and parent hope for child storylines they are great and really happen to many people so matter immensely.
