SEE ALSO: MashReads: Hear an exclusive audio excerpt from Nicola Yoon's 'The Sun is Also a Star'The Sun Is Also A Starfollows two strangers, romantic poet Daniel and science whiz Natasha, who have very different opinions on love. When Natasha and Daniel run into each other on a fateful day in New York, Daniel believes he has found "the one" and embarks on a quest to convince Natasha to fall in love with him. The only problem: at the end of the day Natasha is being deported to Jamaica.
This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss The Sun Is Also A Star with Nicola Yoon herself. Join us as we talk about YA, writing about race and immigration, love at first sight and The Sun Is Also A Star.
And, as always, we close the show with some recommendations:
Nicola recommends Furthermoreby Tahereh Mafi. "It's a middle grade book and it's just beautiful." She also recommends Adam Silvera's upcoming book History Is All You Left Me and A Torch Against The Nightby Sabaa Tahir.
Aliza recommends Delicate Edible Birdsby Lauren Groff. "It's a wonderful story collection. My favorite is the first short story, but you should read all of them."
Peter finally caught up on Donald Glover's show Atlanta. "It's really inventive and creative and fun in a very special way."
MJ recommends Are You Fucking Kidding Me?an essay from a Hillary Clinton parody collection that imagines what real Hillary Clinton wants to say but cannot. He also recommends The Baby-Sitters Club Club (which was introduced to us by a friend at McNally Jackson this week), a podcast hosted by two guys who absurdly deconstruct each book in the Baby-Sitters Clubseries.
Next week we are reading To Kill A Mockingbird! We hope you'll join us.
