Nicola Yoon writes love stories that will break your heart, filled with all the hope, excitement, and uncertainty of first romance. Her characters fall in love through emails, from afar, or in the space of just one day. She explores the walls between them and the moonstruck optimism that guides them in effervescent, deeply humanistic prose that wraps itself around your heart. Her #1 NYT bestselling debut, Everything, Everything, was adapted into a 2017 film, and her sophomore novel, National Book Award finalist The Sun Is Also a Star, will be following it to the big screen soon. We talked about her process, immigration stories, and what it’s like to work on a love story with the one you love.
