Review of 'The Sun is Also a Star' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

Demoted to 3 stars simply for the jarringly unrealistic conversation between Daniel and his Yale interviewer. I'm still not clear as to why an immigration lawyer would be doing a college interview for someone wanting to be a doctor in the first place. And he doesn't kick Daniel out of his office immediately after catching him looking at a client's file? And really, he f**ks up Natasha's chance to stay in the US because he's distracted by his unbelievably inappropriate feelings for his paralegal?!? Ugh, that stereotype needs to die a fast painful death. I was distracted by those scenes that I failed to enjoy a huge section of the book. Other than that, this was definitely a 4-star book.
