The Sun is Also a Star  by Nicola Yoon 320-344 Topic: Point of Views One thing that set The Sun is Also a Star apart from other books is that it has multiple points of views. Most of the time the chapters are through the point of view of either Natasha or Daniel but sometimes the point of view is through another character or it may be in the third person.

I believe that all of those changes are because love is the answer.  Love does change everything whether it's for the good or the bad. Relationships form  and relationships fall. Love can be scary yet magnific
