The Sun is Also a Star Resources

For those wondering if Natasha and Daniel’s story has universal appeal, check out this seriously impressive list of awards given to The Sun Is Also A Star.

If you can forgive the production crew for changing Daniel’s tie from red to plaid and Natasha’s headphones from pink to white, this trailer captures the story of the book pretty well.

Find out who the author’s favorite character to write was, and then join us in a rabbit hole of speculation over the mysterious alternate ending that her editor had to talk her out of.

Wondering what it’s like to hang out with Natasha and Daniel’s on-screen counterparts? The movie’s stars, Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton, were featured on the April cover of Cosmopolitan ahead of the film’s May 2019 release.

Author Nicola Yoon asked her fans on social media who should play Daniel in the movie, and one name kept popping up: Charles Melton read the entire book in two days and booked the role 10 months later.

Nicola Yoon reads the first few chapters of her book at the 2016 National Book Finalist Awards.

Wait, would Nicola Yoon just come to Shmoop HQ and hang out with us like she does with this book-loving YouTuber? This interview is delightful, especially because we learn what’s on Nicola Yoon’s Spotify writing playlist.

At the Miami Book Fair in 2016, Nicola Yoon discusses her first-hand experience being a Jamaican immigrant in Brooklyn, her Korean in-laws, and her own thoughts on true love.

When Daniel sees Natasha lost in her music, she's listening to the song "Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog. No promises that you'll also find your One True Love by listening to it, but hey, stranger things have happened. Just promise us you'll watch out for white BMWs.

Daniel's hammed-up performance of ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me" totally wins Natasha over, so it turns out ‘80s Swedish pop music was the key to her padlocked heart all along.

Given that Natasha chooses "Fell On Black Days," a song that mentions fate six times, she might not be as opposed to the idea of "meant to be" as she says she is.

Nicola Yoon’s excitement over watching Natasha and Daniel’s story come to life on the silver screen is adorable, as are the behind-the-scenes photos she’s been sharing of the cast and crew.

In case you were wondering why Natasha was so captivated by the Hall of Meteorites, here’s a photo gallery of Anhighito, and we have to admit it’s pretty awe-inspiring.
