Book Therapy: The Sun is also a star

I'm a slow adopter when it comes to audio books. What can I say, I'm old fashioned and like imagining what the characters sound like. I've come across a few books where the narrators fit perfectly with my imagination, others where the narrator frustrated me.

​But I've also discovered the joy of crocheting while listening to an audio book and, especially over the last few months, have been thoroughly enjoying a steady stream of audio books. 

A recent listen that particularly engaged me was The Sun Is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon. I adored the choice of narrators and looked forward to the time I'd have with them each day. Like many audio books, there were times I wish I had the tree version so I could linger on a passage, but the experience of hearing this book was a treat.

From Goodreads:
Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story.

Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of us.

The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?
